Recalling that if you really needed one they cost 1.00, youd buy one in lieu of a shovel handle, broomstick, whatever you could find. If you want one today, its 10.00.The .25 Spaldeen? $2.00 to 3.00, depending on where you go.It doesnt matter, Im too old to be chasing a ball around anyway. Passed 171 schoolyard recently, site of thousands of games of "off the point" |
