Unless you plan on displaying, $300+ for a urethane ball is madness imo (what usually see those for).  It was I believe one of the better urethane balls for its time but still urethane.  IIRC a bit of a Faball blue hammer knock off as core looks identical.  You can get a blue hammer once drilled in good condition for well under $100 shipped.

I had one back when they came out. They hooked no doubt. Very similar to the blue hammer of the time..

I have the same ball, but red.  I believe it has the diamond shaped core.

 I was told it had a weight block like the old ebonite Turbo.
 I looked it up. If this is correct, it does.

Yeah that core was in everything just about at the time.  Same with the hammers as well (grenade has slight ridges on side but same basic shape).
