    These were all sent out today (finally). I am very sorry for letting other projects / lack of sense / etc. delay this trade to ridiculous proportions. I think I'll stick with participating, rather than organizing from now on...

    Hopefully, you should all have your balls for Thanksgiving, some of which might make a lovely centerpiece for your guests gathered 'round the dinner table? Be sure to post pics full of holiday cheer upon receipt, so that others may enjoy your new balls as well.

    Thanks for your participation & patience!

    Wow, I wish I knew a dollar store that had those.

    I wouldn't participate, but I would love to own a set.

    Re: FakeBall Custom Trade? UPDATED 1-31

    They're not from Dollar General, but Dollar Tree. I just picked up all four. There's a store locator here.

    Some of their blister packs were crushed in from little kid fingers mashing on them, but they popped back into place just fine once opened.

    Tinman that looks great! Did you stripe the paint with acetone or just paint over what was there?

    Re: FakeBall Custom Trade-Another Update

    On this one I just painted over the original paint, with a base coat of black, then went from there. acetone will bring it down to the ball's base color just like in meanmistert's picture.

    If you bought balls from me, they are on their way.

    Let's get some more folks in on this...there are some "conspicuously absent" names!
    And don't forget to place your vote!
