I saw the real orange LP560-2 Balboni in Lamborghini’s show room last month, and it’s quite shape especially with the stripe deco and the coming Porsche 959 is also another highly expected collector’s item from Autoart, hopefully its upgraded quality can bring much improvement over Exoto’s 10 years old Porsche 959.

Recently, I acquired a rare piece of collector’s item and almost complete my POG collections except the mid and mid-plus versions. It is the very first generation of POG, the one with 1 stripe, head size 110 (though a bit bigger than other POG 110 4 stripes and heavier). This version came out around 1978 and Made in USA. This version of POG was used by many big names back in the 80s, super stars like Andre Agassi, Gabriela Sabatini and of course my favouite, Michael Chang.

Searching through the net, I discovered there are actually two different versions of POG with 1 stripe, see the followings:

POG with 1 stripe – very 1st version, no side deco (ie, blank on both side)

POG with 1 stripe - the 2nd version, note Prince Logo and side deco

Some more information I found on Tennis-Warehouse Forum

POG 1 = Tear dropped shaped head single line with no grommets/no bumper and no printing on top or side or racket (possibly just sticker) except for Prince/graphite- circa 1978

POG 2 = Tear dropped shaped head, single line with grommets/no bumper no printing on top or side or racket (possibly just sticker) except for Prince/graphite- circa 1980?

POG 3 = Normal shaped head, single line with grommets and bumper, printing on side is “graphite series 110″ top has no printing front is Prince/Graphite. Printed stringing weight is 70-80 – Circa 1983

POG 3.5 = Same as 3 but side says “graphite 110″, String weight 60-75
Circa ?

POG 4 = Norm head, 4 line with grommets/bumper, printing on side is “graphite 110″, top is “110″ , side sticker says “series 110″ front is Prince/Prince- , Printed stringing weight is 60-75 – Circa 1987

POG 4.5 = Same as POG 4 but top is printed “oversize”, side is “graphite oversize” , front is Prince/Prince, printed stringing weight is 50-60 -
Circa > 1987 (any ideas?)

POG 5 = Straight shaft-Not sure of OS had straight shaft?

POG 6 = Tour

今天又見陶傑好文

西班牙贏得世界盃，香港有何「啟示」？有。看看本地的樓盤廣告，名字越來越誇，最新的一個，叫「帝峰．皇殿」，其他還有皇廷、御花園、君臨天下、皇府山、御林皇府。中國人在潛意識裏極度迷戀帝皇，但民居敢僭稱什麼帝峰、皇殿，若在三百年前，北京知道了，必定滿門抄斬。
