I just thinking to keep it as my collection and don't want to drill it. for dry lane, I already have XXL. more, I have 2 pearl uranium, and 1 solid U. dirty bomb and cherry bomb, also the GN, too many option from me, I am thinking if I really drill it, I will waste this treasure as this NIB historical ball.
