Ball with "B" stamped on bottom?
« on: March 07, 2004, 12:59:08 AM »
I just got a ball in trade Friday, and just noticed that it has a "B" stamped on the bottom.

 - Does that mean it's a Blem from the factory?
 - If so, don't you think the seller should have disclosed this fact?

LOL! Ok wise guys! It's a Storm ball. I referenced it being on the bottom because if the label area is the "top" of the ball, the B is stamped on the bottom. It's about 1/2" high. Looks like an engraving letter as done with initials, only without the color filled in, and a little deeper.

Does it have the numbers engraved on it? If not, it may represent that its a blem ball.

The B is stamped just below the serial number...

I have 2 Storm blem balls.  One has a C engraved on it because it is a color blem.  The other has a B on it because it was a top weight blem.  I would get the ball weighed because it probably is a blem.


A weight Blem?

Do you think that this ball is legal? Should the seller told me that the ball was a blem before agreeing to a deal?

There is always the slim chance that the seller didn't know what the B stood for either. Maybe he bought the ball from someone less that honest.
