FWIW, I picked up a NIB Black Beauty on eBay two years ago for $15 plus shipping.

I have a used one sitting on the floor of our shop...  currently its holding down a stack of drill sheets.  lol

As far as value of the BB... I would have to say that for practical use, its value is essentially zero.  For collectors (I can't say I have actually seen or spoken to anyone who actually collects balls... but maybe a museum or HOF or something?), it could be worth quite a bit.  I can't ever remember seeing or hearing on a NIB one.  

Goodluck!

Well, mine makes a great spare ball.  A bit more predictable for me than plastic.

Leave it undrilled and let it find it's way back to the thrift store.  If you've ever been around when one gets drilled, or sanded, or anything, you'll have a new definition of the word "stench".

I say drill it and take it to the "Peterson Classic", either that or drill it and put it on the rack one night and say " I heard the oil machine is broke"
