This is my first post. I hope it's the right place for this.
In a few NE US States there was a very popular ball called a "pimple ball". This was available for 10 to 25 cents at most toy shops in the 1950's to 1970's. I think it was discontinued around 1982. These were hollow rubber balls with pimples and lines embossed on them. After they went flat, kids would cut them in half and play half-ball. There are a few distributors for remakes of these balls today but they want a lot of money for them. The largest distributor is http://www.thepimpleball.com/ They want $5.50 each plus shipping which is ridiculous for a rubber ball.
Another distributor is JAT Creative Products. http://www.jatcreativeproducts.com/index.php?cPath=6 Their minimum order is 48 balls for $72 plus $12 shipping, which works out to about $1.75 each but I don't want 48 balls.
"5 Below" used to sell pimple balls a couple years ago for $1.99 each but they have none in stock these days.
I'd like to find another source for these balls. Does anyone know where I can get them at a reasonable price ?
