Just listed the coolest ball on ebay (clear green) less than 200 made
« on: January 21, 2015, 03:07:04 PM »
 From the info that I have compiled about this ball..
Company:  mark X or Gem tek
Wondercraft produced this ball and made less than 200 of these bowling balls in York PA in 1968.
- green and it's crystal clear (amazing looking ball)
-14lb
-ball is in excellant condition!!!
- span: 4 1/8 x 4 3/16
-drilled for a 1 3/8" slug, large size grips
-there is no label or serial number on the ball. 
*the ball predates the Usbc approved list so I'm not sure if it's legal
-the ball had a name removed and plugged then re-engraved TERRY
-middle finger was moved 1/2" forward
(This is not an ebonite, columbia, track, hammer, storm, roto grip, motiv, 900 global or any of the current conpanies bowling ball)

*any questions please feel free to message me to assure your bidding.

I WILL NOT end the auction early so set your reminders for when this is going off and don't miss out on this very rare item

eBay item number: 301498215718

If they are selling for that, it's just begging someone to remake. 

TJ, what's new?  Hope all is well.

They are extremely expensive to make.  And sure you can find them for sale at $5k, but when was the last time one actually sold for that?  Not sure why anyone would want one...

Congrats on selling this not so pretty version with plug work and a re-worked name engraving for over $400.  I just don't understand...
