    Quoted from Nokoro:

    I just have been piling them up in a decorative glass container. I wonder how long until the pressure breaks the glass . . . .

    I put mine in an old gas tank I have in my game room (with a MST3K decal, for fun).

    Quoted from KingBW:

    Sounds like PBL could sell a lot of them if they could keep them in stock ... I'll be waiting in line with you guys. I could use some.

    He does sell a lot of them. That's why they're out of stock

    Very disappointed.

    It appeared I had missed the boat with posts saying the ball baron was sold out. When I went to his website, I found "High Polish Mirror Chrome Steel OEM Pinballs," so I thought he must still have some left. I ordered 25.

    Based on the ooooo's and aaaaah's from everyone, maybe I didn't get the same thing? (They were about $1 each). These are full of specs and tiny scuffs. I can use them, but not what I was expecting. I thought these would be like the mirror finish I used to get from Pinball Life.

    Pics below show the specs below the light reflection, but they're everywhere on every ball.

    Quoted from jay:

    Unfortunately not the same thing.
    What you must have bought are the G100-G200 balls.
    ebay.com link
    What you were hoping to get were G10 balls, which sold out when Pinside foamed up and did a run on them.
    ebay.com link

    I didn't buy from him on ebay. I bought direct from his website. Looking back at his website, they do say G100-G200. I didn't know the G10's were the good ones. Bummer.

    I saw "High Polish Mirror Chrome," and thought that was it.
