Rare Hampden Ball "Click" to Login or Register

Hi guys and gals,

Here are a few pics of a Hampden/Ball I bought several months ago. The ebay seller gave me permission to use his photo's on sites like this. I have a camera on order that I hope will take quality pics and will post some of my other balls at a later date. Its also on that page with the hampden numbers down below.
Hampden Ball
Of course, any Hampden Ball is rare but:


This watch illustrates the fact that price guides are just that, a guide.

The Ball's Standard, Cleveland O, is about 8 times rarer than The Ball's standard Superior Grade, but is valued at about one fourth!

Ok, by me, I probably wouldn't have bought it if it were more expensive. I am not selling it anyway, I will let my son worry about it.

You will probably see it in a garage sale in 10 years or so for 20 bucks!

Happy hunting.
