Rare find?
« on: June 13, 2008, 03:33:40 AM »
Looks like an original yellow dot bleeder.  Any opinions on authenticity?

I have the same ball, same year, and I have a 1971/72 version. They are closed but not exact. The earlier one is softer and bleeds more. The newer one is a little harder and bleeds a little bit.

I have never heard of a ball busting to pieces just because of putting finger inserts in them.  Is this really possible or could it have been driller error or maybe even a defect with the ball?  Seems odd.

for $250 with shipping? many if not all, newer balls for less that will out perform that ball.

though it was one of my favorites.... back in the pre turbo-x days....

You have an 81/82 not a 71/72
