Another "Find"!!!
« on: August 21, 2005, 03:39:37 AM »
Not wanting to hijack Nick's thread about the Pearl Sapphire.......


A guy brought a brand new/never drilled Teal Rhino Pro into the shop yesterday.  3 1/2 pin and 3 1/2 top, 15lbs.  OOOhhhh  my!  I took some pictures of it, but don't know how to post them, will have to check that We-Todd thing if anyone is interested.

Mike, was it an original? With a pin out like that, I'm thinking remake.

Good find though, Rhino Pro's rock!

As usual, Nick's quicker to the switch than I am...

I do have a NIB *original* Teal in the closet.  16 pounds, though.

Had the black pin.  I think the couple remakes I saw had a yellow pin.  Other than that, he did not have the box, said it was torn to shreds.  He bought the ball at ABC Nationals either this year or last, I can't remember.

You BrunsDudes may know better than me.  Just thought the ball really looked sweet.  Derrick and I were laughing, I had just told him about Nick and the Pearl Sapphire a few minutes before Ron walked in with the Teal Rhino.  Derrick tried to get me to offer him something for it, and Ron would have went for it too.

Oh well, I need another ball like I need another hole in my head.....
