That's a good point Pokermonster, about the pricing when it comes to collecting stuff. What's precious to some is next to worthless to others. I used to collect soundtrack albums and once picked up a second-hand copy of Kelly's Heroes for £1. Bargain for a collector! Not long after, I saw the same album in Beanos, in pretty much the same condition, priced up for a sale £100! It's a funny ol' game.
Do you collect both English and American pool balls, or just English? Myself and a work colleague used to play regularly on the American tables about 10 years or so ago, but stopped when work took us different ways. When I went back to a club recently, the balls on the new tables were a lot heavier and it made the game totally different! Also the club cues seem to be much worse standard than the old days (like they're covered in 3 layers of dulux paint! And the tips are not as good either - why do standards always seem to go down in all walks of life! Maybe it's just my memory, lol). |

Good evening, Mr H. Apologies for only just noticing your reply, dear chap.
Yes, sir, I do indeed collect both American and English pool balls. I’m still seeking a mint condition set of the Romans pictured below, ladies and gentlemen, and will gladly pay a £100 finders fee on top of whatever purchase price is agreed upon.  |

I always think of you, Pokermonster, when I see pool balls in the local charity/antique shops. Alas, they were only bog standard ones.
Goodnight  |

Charity and antique shops can literally prove a treasure trove. Here’s a perfect example:  |
