B stamped by serial number
« on: April 08, 2006, 05:01:52 AM »
Was given an Atomic Charge that has a big B stamped below the serial number. I'm assuming this means it is a blem? Was curious since nothing on the ball looks out of whack label wise or etc.

Yeah it means blem, doesn't necessarily mean anything that serious.  Color a little off, some slight pitting etc.

Yeah. You know, I had a guy in Jackson county. He had a little drum circle in his backyard. It turned into a drum circle four miles in diameter. You get a few hippies playing drums and next thing you know, you got yourself a colony.

Actually, if my memory serves me correctly, cosmetic blems are marked with a C, while all other blems are marked with a B like described on your ball...

it all depends (correct me if im wrong) but i believe c stands for comp and they can be just as bad as blems....i got a comp flame one time and it had 4.5 oz of top weight...there may be nothing cosmetically wrong with your atomic charge it could just be a really high or low topweight if everything looks ok

Thanks for the replies.

It is drilled already, and is going to be listed on Ebay. Wanted to give buyers the heads up on it. Cosmetically, it looks like a first run ball, so it might be either slight pitting or maybe a high top. The pin is ok at about 2 1/2 inches.

Big B?  Blem?  Are you sure its a Storm ball...what you describe sounds a lot like a Brunswick ball...
