Greetings Gentlemen,
I've been enjoying this amazing thread about billiard ball collecting for a long time now. I just finished reading the entire thing form start to finish, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. The content, camaraderie, and civility of this online community is unsurpassed, in my experience.
I was fortunate enough to have a 6-foot refurbished coin-op table to play on as a kid growing up in Erie,PA, and some of my favorite memories involved playing 8-ball with my Dad, brother, and uncle. I seem to have caught the collecting bug as of late, so I thought I would post a few pics of what I have so far. Nothing as grand or hard to find as the treasures lauded here, but they will serve as an introduction for now. Additions of Hyatts and Brunswick cents are forthcoming, and from there, who knows?
I also look forward to developing my meager skills and making a friend or two by joining my first league (APA) in Rockaway, NJ.
To the best of my knowledge, the collection includes (from top to bottom):
Aramith Premier Snooker
Cuemate by Vigma
Cue Elf (grey swirls)
Classic Sport
Hyatt "Fancy O's" (1930s clays)
Fei Ma
Xin Kang TV Pro Cup
Dynaspheres Tungsten
Dynaspheres Platinum
Dynaspheres Gold
Predator Arcos II
Aramith Premium
If I am mistaken about any of these, please feel free to set the record straight - I'm here to learn.
Thanks,
M
