Pool Ball Collecting.

[Rubik's Cube]

You’re very welcome, Mr W.

To be honest, dear chap, my knowledge is really not that deep. I’m mainly interested in sets cast within my lifetime, so 1960s onwards.

This incomplete set of unusual poker pool balls was found in France recently.

Sadly several balls were missing. Presumably, this was once a full fifty-two (or perhaps fifty-four) strong set. The group was purchased by a community of single-ball collectors.

Might this be considered a display set then? I can‘t imaging any rules for more then 40 balls, playing with a table crowded like this

 

[Rubik's Cube]

On reflection, Mr M, I think this set perhaps featured balls seven to ace only, making a thirty-two ball set instead of fifty-two. Still rather crowded, of course, but not quite so preposterous.

We used to employ a similar tactic during my draw poker-playing days… we called it a stripped deck.

Difficult to find the 8 ball when playing with that set...

Hello, Mr X.

The Aramith 100 is an awesome set for sure, sir. And a wonderful, prestigious addition to anyone’s collection.

Thank you so much for joining in the discussion on this thread. A new face is always welcome and appreciated.

Best wishes.

And especially so if a few bottles deep! Difficult to find any of the balls then.

Doing it opposite to the striped ones would have been nice. A yellow ball with a centered white stripe. And easier to spot for sure

Here are the beautiful Brunswick Imperial baseball add-ons.

I absolutely love your Imperial Baseballs, Mr X.

A wonderful contribution to the thread, sir!

Forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered…

Does anyone know how many Aramith 100th anniversary sets were cast? They were advertised as a limited edition, but it doesn’t state exactly how many on the certificates.

I'm wondering whether Aramith will eventually release them as a regular set in a cardboard box.

Are you looking at the one on eBay? It's a little bit out of my budget right now.
I believe X answered correctly, 1000 is the number I remember hearing somewhere.
