When I was a teenager, I had a really neat set of chrome-looking plastic cups.

I would like to get a set, just for nostalgia, and have seen a few available. They all seem to look like PF cups. The finishes look different in the various ad photos - some dull, some shiny - but that could be the photo more than an actual difference.

Any consensus on which set currently available might be my best bet as far as quality and finish (don't worry - my expectations are not high!)?

Thanks in advance -

They are available at http://stoners.com/?mainURL=/store/categ......ers.html Then click on Cups & Balls Econ Pro .

I could not believe they were not metal cups until I picked them up. These have only been out for a few years.

Appreciate the suggestion. I do believe I remember seeing these before.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Nothing would get done at all, if man waited so long that no one could find fault with it.

Jim at Hippity Hop Magic has had sets in stock, every time that I've been in the shop. I think they may hold a racket ball as a final load. They're quite shiny. http://www.hippityhop.com/cart/

Yesterday I won a set of Ravel Chrome Plastic cups on the big auction site. Their shape is 'traditional' which is the same shape as the cups I had so long ago. Maybe those were Ravel, too. I quizzed the seller, and the plastic is black on the inside, just like my old ones. I do remember my old ones being a little more narrow - but that could be a case of faulty memory.

I think these will fill the bill quite nicely!

Pete, if you still have something, I may still be interested.

In that case, I will look forward to seeing ALL of what you find.
