I still have it, you can have it back with a crappy RICO layout on it.
I used your thumb hole as an X-Hole.

Pay shipping and you can cross it off your list.

Well, I didn't sell it, but I left it at a proshop and moved.  By the time I went back, he had sold it because no "regulars" claimed it.  It was a Purple Quake.

The other ball I "lost" was a Storm Trauma.  I still have it, but I switched from 16 to 15 pounds years ago and it just sits there lonely...

Original Inferno.  Man I wish I had that one back, drilled another but it wasn't the same.  

Hammer Doom.  Loved that ball, why did I sell it?  Cause I'm a tard.

Brunswick Twisted Fury Pearl and Lane 1 Solid Cobalt Bomb. Also an AMF Heist, but I later found another one, so that eliminated that problem.

I've had two as well.  First was a Ballistik Kryptonite.  I had a NIB 15lb.. I drilled it up for myself..  threw it very well..  my buddy threw it very well too.  About that time, the Primal Instinct came out and I really want to try it.  so I sold the Kryptonite to buy the P.I....  which turned out to be in the top five worst balls I have ever owned.

The second was a cherry pearl C/2 saw.  I had a NIB 15lb that I drilled for myself.  Threw the ball very well, shot some decent scores.  I had made a trade with a guy that turned out bad (shipping company essentially destroyed the ball), so to make up for the shipping company mistake, I offered a list of equipment up for "replacement".  Guy chose the cherry (of course).

Balls I miss but did not want to plug and redrill another time:
- TPC Shooter
- Trauma

Today they'd both have much too strong layouts for me to be handy, but looking back I can better judge their potential. At least, I'd say that I'd seriously consider both if I would find them NIB somewhere.

The two I should have bought:  Street Rod Solid/Pearl.
