Hey Chris,

Thanks. Looks like you got a great ball. Let me know when you get it to see if you can make out anymore of the date.

Hi Rob...got the ball today. Haven't had time to take any pics, but the year is there...faint, but just readable "/82" or "/87". The second number is written up against the stitching and is tough to detect. White thread stitching, quite tightly stitched. chris
