It's based upon color , type and, scarcity.
Yes, the numbers were referring to those embossed upon the base.
Only the #13 has any value to "some people."

I saw a number 13 ball at an antique shop last week. The label read "Rare #13 Ball Mason $45." I couldnt believe it.

TONY...don't tell me that "rumor" has spread all the way to Wisconsin !?!
CROBINSON..they are common, but there is an "urban legend" about them that they are very rare due to moonshiners and superstitious housewives destroying so many...
This is a fallacy cooked up by some imaginative and enterprising flea market dealer in East Tn. about 8 years ago...(was when I 1st heard it anyways).
BUT...people have been known to pay good money for them.

Wow thanks a lot for the info! Now I'm even higher than cloud 9 [
]. Thanks to that rumor I was able to sell my #13 today for a whopping $125 [sm=lol.gif]...and that's no typo! I have to say this has really been interesting and a lot of fun for me. You can add this story to your fact sheet and enjoy telling it.

TONY...many people believe the story about it being an urban legend is an urban legend itself , and there's no convincing them otherwise. They figure you're after them yourself and are just scamming them...[&:]
