Two more great acquisitions, HKC. 👍

Mulambo is the Hercule Poirot of AZB. 😀

I’ll take a guess at either a set of Bonus Balls or a set of Route 66s? Both quite rare, but I’ve seen them for sale in Canada recently.

I can hardly wait to see what you have discovered, HKC. If it’s not one of the Cardball variations I honestly have no clue about the big reveal. 😀 Great treasure hunting, sir!

That’s intriguing, HKC. Whenever Canada is mentioned I always think Cardball. 😮

And as sure as night follows day, HKC, you will soon move on to the next stage of our shared addiction… contemplating how best to display your treasures. That can get expensive as well. 😀

That’s wonderful news, HKC. Congratulations on finding one of the truly iconic pool ball sets, sir.

Hello, Sudocrushms. Thank you so much for sharing images of your collection, sir. We all started off with the traditional sets… before you know it you’ll be scouring obscure corners of the internet eight hours every day like the rest of us. It only takes one lucky find and you’re hooked...

Your original message has just landed, All the cyberspace elves must be busy watching the World Cup! 😀 Many thanks, Colm. I am just leaving the house for the evening, sir, but will reply tomorrow. 🙏

Just sent you an email from my spare email account, Colm. Hopefully that one might work okay. 👍

Nothing has landed in my email inbox yet, dear chap.

Hello, Amadainmhor. Firstly, sincere thanks for joining in on the thread. I truly admire your endeavours thus far regards the Cardball venture. I know from experience how difficult it is to make any pool ball design a reality so respectfully tip my hat to you. If you skip back a few pages you...

Fabulous buy, Mr D.

I’d never seen them before, Mr M. Is it definitely an official release by Aramith?

Words cannot adequately express how sincerely grateful I am to receive these two fabulous gifts from my dear friend, Ennio Badin, this morning. I believe the branded cueballs to be prototypes and thus never released to market. I am a lifelong Raschig enthusiast, seeking stuff like this for...

Sixteen balls, dear chap.

I doubt they still have the moulds, Mr M. They would be owned by the client… and Cardball International were dissolved many decades ago.

I reckon the Cardballs might be the most costly pool sets ever cast. Those irregular-shaped sticks would have required custom extrusions and multiple other expensive processes… all done by Aramith, who are not cheap at the best of times.

It is always so frustrating and disappointing to miss out on a desirable set… I have been there many times. Take heart however, gentlemen, one thing I have learnt over the years is that another chance WILL surely roll your way one day.

I’ve seen a couple of single balls, sir, but mine is the only full set to date. I found it In Ludwigshafen, very close to the original Raschig factory. Sadly, the seller did not have any other Four Player sets.
