Pac-Man Golf Balls?

[ChetlovesMer]

As a fan of non-plain-white golf balls. I have to say when I saw these I thought "Eh?"

I got an email from Taylormade some months back to pre-order these. But they didn't really do anything for me. 

Then this morning, I saw that they are out of stock everywhere, and folks are now selling them on ebay for up to 100 bucks a dozen. One seller has sold over 30 dozen of them at $95 per dozen.

Hmm... maybe I should have bought some?

If I got them, the resale price would have gone down!😜

That's hilarious. 

When I got the email for the pre-order they didn't strike a cord with me at all. I mean I grew up in the 70's and 80's so obviously I played Pac-Man, but I don't feel the kind of connection in which I'd want Pac-Man paraphernalia. 

I got another email about "Limited" RedBull Racing TP5x golf balls. I felt even less connection there. 

My guess is TaylorMade (maybe others too) are going to keep coming out with these "limited edition" golf balls. Some will probably appreciate in the short term, some probably not. But my strong feeling is that none of them will be valuable in the long run. 

Hmmm... I'm not on Callaway's mailing list, but I just noticed they've got a crap-ton of "limited edition" golf balls as well. 

Callaway has seasonal ones: Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas (ugly sweater), etc.. 

I guess this is now a thing. ...
