i bought on ebay a Lanemasters Extreme impact nib, and today i receive the ball but when i open the package i see a surprise
There isn't the cg on the ball (it's not marked on the surface)
and the series number report Series #1
Can it be a test Ball?
or something strange???
this is the link of the auction :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330384812719&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I will post later a couple of photos of the ball received because the photo with the Flag is different from the ball received (on the ball there is marked above the flag MADE IN THE )
Any info is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I know I would not drill this ball. Consider it a collector, might be worth some money one day.

Oops, Most definitely, NOT a collector's item.
Mine has the exact same markings. As Joe Jr. said, the real serial number is under the CG marker, which, in turn is under the words, "Lane Masters".
Mine has "ABC #1797". Sigh .... Everyone thinks they've got a special ball.
Check for the CG marker, a specified on the box as XX" under the pin.

Not to mention, who really decides what is a collectors item and what isn't? Your trash might be another persons treasure. For proof, go to any flea market. LOL

when i partecipate to this auction the same seller did another auction with another Lanemasters Extreme Impact nib 15lb.
I repeat the only number on my ball is series#1, and i'm agree with charlest that the serial number is under the cg marker because i had a lanemasters Extreme impact before this and the serial number was impressed under the cg, also that ball had the logos yellow, and this one have no color into the logo.

Then that might very well be a test ball, sent to pro shops or selected staffers to test.
The only way you can be sure is to contact Lane Masters themselves.
FYI I believe under their current rules, a ball must have a serial number. The only real concern is to qualify for an award it must have a serial number. Technically it''s illegal to use, btu I doubt if anyone would call you on that.

As you can see the logo on the ball aren't yellow and the only logos on the ball are these.( no cg and no serial).

The G with the C around it in your first picture is the cg. The serial is below it indicating that it is not one of the normal serialized balls.

I don''t believe so. Mine has a "normal" (as far as I know) serial number and mine has the "G" inside a "C". Look in the 5th picture in his album. Where my serial number is, this one has the logo, "9ABC#DISPLAY", as if it were manufactured for DISPLAY purposes only by the ABC.
