We have around 1000 golf balls that we have collected from a friends dried up pond. It used to be a prestigious(is that spelled right) golf club back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. We found all kinds of balls with all kinds of logo's on them. Old logo's that I know are not in business anymore. Does anyone know anything about this subject. Are those worth any money? The balls with nothing on them, anyone know what used golf balls go for money wise? thanks!!
Here is an example of some golf balls with old logo's: Brings back memories. Southern Bell Pepsi (with original black and white logo) Nabisco (with original logo) C P & L a few say "flying lady" I don't know if this is a brand or person. they are pink A few say "diamond lady". These are blue. Some from Disney land with the old mickey mouse on them. Old coke logo's. A old playboy one. (Has the bunny) Big star (I think this was a grocery store) Many many more. They might not be worth squat. How would I find out?
The title of this thread sounds a little painful I would suggest you try posting a few on ebay. I would not post the story about how you got them, unless asked.
Non-logo Golf balls that have been in a pond for that long are worthless. For the logo golf balls, as suggested look on e-bay. They have vintage golf balls for sale. A collector may be interested.
WHy would the non logo ones be worth nothing. Could a driving range use them. Most are bright white and in really good shape. They seem hard and bounce really good. The mud preserved them i think. They could be from the 90's also. I am going to try to search vintage golf balls like you said. I haven't tried that yet.
I would also suggest watching the auctions on ebay. At the home page I entered "pepsi golf balls" and found 3 current auctions, with no bids. I did the same for "nabisco golf balls" and found 1 current auction, also with no bids. "Southern Bell golf balls" resulted in no auctions. Doesn't mean they aren't worth anything though, just none up for bid right now. If I were you, I would watch the current auctions to see if they sell and, if so, how much they sell for. Then you can decide if ebay is the right way to go.
Golf ball technology has changed a lot since then, so a collector might be interested in something you have whether it has a logo or not. I wouldn't waste time with driving ranges.
