Wow...that brings back memories...

The original black Hammers from the early 1980s did that handprint thing.  And boy, did those things smell.

Too bad the seller didn't specify the weight of the ball.

Looks like a Black Hammer with a hand print on it.  Guy said it stays there for 20-30 seconds...  seeing as it's the outline of the hand... and not where the skin of the hand actually contacted the ball it might just be a moisture thing... not an oil soaked ball.  Which one wouldn't expect from a supposedly NIB.  Someone should ask him what the serial number is on the ball.

so if you touch that ball, it would leave an imprint on it? thats sweet.  they need to make a ball with lights in it, a clear ball with a light inside the thumb or finger hole would be awesome, dont know how they would get it in the though.
