Call Me Crazy
« on: November 16, 2010, 11:13:39 PM »
This is a question for guys that are old enough to remember throwing Yellow Dots.  There is a guy on Ebay claiming to be selling a "Bleeder" Yellow Dot.  The problem is the serial number begins with a 6 and looks more like the Urethane added model Columbia sold in the mid to late 80s.  He claims it is a 1976 model and is a bleeder.  What do you think?

I can't tell for sure but i also remember the balls produced in 76 through mid 78 didn't really bleed much. 76 was the first year of the hardness rules and i remember my yellow dot ans sur d being shiny and not bleeding at all. First of the "bleeders" again was late 78

The seller is located about 2 mins from where I live. Very strange. Sorry for the hijack
