Serial Number...
« on: January 12, 2006, 06:18:00 AM »
I had someone ask me once about the serial number on a bowling ball.  Now I'm curious.  What does having the serial number on a ball have to do with someone's interest in buying it?  And/or what can you do with that serial number?

There was a few series of balls (Carmel White Dots, "bleeder" Yellow Dots...) that certain batches were the best.  Ball A might be worth $50, but ball B was worth every penny of $150.

If it's been stolen alot!   People steal bowling balls and then sell them to unknowing pro shops.

In either of these cases is something available to check these things?

I record the serial number of every ball I drill on the drill sheet.  I also do not deal in used balls.  --  JohnP
