Thank you, HKC.
I only have one more (incomplete) exhibition card to share… and then I’ll have to start working on all the rest.

Those balls are great.
Wasn‘t there a set, where the balls were not just all crossed, but mixed with striped ones as well? I think I can remember something, but I am not sure. If so, is any information on that available?

I'm looking for some information gentlemen and ladies if there are any with the ball collecting affliction. Back in post #2781 I asked about some early Aramith Premier's that had skinnier stripes and open 4's. What I have that is in the same era I believe is possibly a set of early Aramith centennials. They have the same skinny stripes and open 4's and very small rounded darts.
I've also have seen these called "circlene's" . I've seen them on a collectors web site as Aramith centennials but he doesn't have the premier's. I'll have to try and do some further searching on the matter but hope someone else is familiar with them.
Thanks for any info.

Hello, Mulambo.
I believe you might be referring to the Aramith Hybrid set of 1996, dear chap. To the best of my knowledge this was the first time the distinctive chequered design was seen on a pool ball.
It’s a special set. There is a gentleman on Facebook who has been trying to persuade me to part with it, but I have given my word not to sell. His latest bid was £1,500.

Hello, HKC.
Other than to admire your beautiful sets, sir, I cannot offer anything much you do not already know unfortunately.
The straight underscores clearly indicate an earlier vintage and open 4s do perhaps suggest one of the European manufacturers. Boxcar would be the gentleman to put us right on that score but, alas, does not frequent AZB anymore.

Hello, Wolverine.
I haven’t forgotten your request for a top ten ranking, sir.
To be frank, dear chap, I have failed. I just found it too difficult to winnow down to so few sets. I tried, but every time found it impossible to leave out certain examples.

That bottle looks defective. Apparently has a leak...
