It came with its original Yoneyama cover as well. This was the first racquet I can remember playing with.Loved the YY7500 back in the '70s....still have my brother's 8500 from back then
The wooden pallet was in the early editions, BTW(but, you probably knew that). A Yoneyama cover would be perfect for it!!!
Haha, here in America but none of the employees speak English. Apparently none of the patrons are into tennis or baseball either. Also scored a Mizuno baseball glove.
You risk a lot traveling to those countries. I think many practice anthropophagy : especially those who do not speak english and those who don't know about tennis or baseball.

Oh snap, I’ve come across some of those in the past but they are always warped to ****. Nice find. Actually a lot of the racquets I see in Hoodwill have frame damage, not symmetrical, warped... do you all find that too?New find. Dunlop Max 200G in really good shape. $3.99

Ye almost bought a warped pog
Was there yesterday and saw a Wilson Sting largehead in fantastic shape for only a few dollars. Passed it up only because I prefer the midsize.
Damn. I have one of those large heads, and they are a sweet stick. That being said I havent had the opportunity to find a midsize yet.
I’ve never been that lucky finding racquets at those low pricesVisiting my parents for a week. While in town I decided to do some racket shopping. Bought a Volkl BB 11L on the local classified ads yesterday virtually brand new (original black grip was disintegrtaing and making a huge mess of my hands though). Price was $25 and it was strung with Wilson NXT 16. Not a bad find I thought, though I never like to pay much for ANY racket [emoji1]. Drove up the road and went to a large thrift store I had never been to before. They had several rackets for only $3.99 including a Prince Spectrum Comp 90, a brand new 1980's Pro Kennex frame I am unfamiliar with (was too flexy for me though) and a Wilson Hammer 6.4 PH 95. While those were really good buys, what completely threw me for a loop was the Vantage VT Custom racket in excellent shape for only $4.99!!!!!!! Realizing that the cost of this racket is 50 times that, I had to wonder WHY someone would just give up their custom racket??? On the other hand, at a Goodwill yesterday I bought Onkyo THX home theater speakers (which weigh like 20 lbs a piece) for only $2.99!!! Insanity to the higest degree [emoji16]

Lucky buy. U got some spectacular rackets.
If you look at my post from Dec 19 of last year, you will see my pics of the one Leconte is holding in that picture. It is a BEAST of a racket (unstrung close to 350g). I still have to restring mine and give it a proper test though. With the right string and tension, I know very few rackets that can equal or suprass what this does. Serves and volleys are a breeze, and making solid contact with the ball gets it moving with mind-numbing speed and accuracy. I can say this because I have several hundred player's frames in my collection to date and this does something bordering on magical!Hey legrandLeconte, do you own a Fischer Pro Classic 90, the one Henri used during the famous Davis Cup tie against the USA ?
I have never ever seen ANY player, I mean ANY, reaching such a level of tennis since Leconte that weekend of December, 1991. No matter where, no matter who.
I once met him, in 2006. We had a few words briefly and, how stupid I am, I completely forgot to congratulate and thank him for such a week-end. Unforgettable in every aspect, at least for me.
Great racket for a great player

just insane !!, picked-up some true gems there.RetroInsane
Seriously that's the hell of a collection
And to satisfy my own curiosity, which model are your Fischer Pro Classic? Thanks

I think that packaing is no more than ten years old. The string should be fine if it wasn't exposed to summer trunk type heat.Not a racquet but an item!
$3 AUD a set. Bought both since that's all that was there at the thrift store.
First time ever having/trying natural gut. It's pretty crispy...
Looking through the archives, could this be 20 years old string set?
Now THAT is a really good find at a proper price!Volkl Power Bridge 10 Mid for £3 in spit spot condition.
The PS is a 95, right?Just found these 2 classic beauties during my lunch break. Early Happy Birthday to me!
It's a ProStaff Largehead, which I believes equates to 110 sq. Inches. Added. note, the buttcap code was "AHQ" which makes it a St. Vincent manufacture...
Once again a bit on the light side for me, but like the Wilson BLX Pro Open I scored earlier in the week, it is ripe for customisation. Looking forward to see how the Dunlop compares to the Wilson as both are 100 sq inches, around 300g unstrung...and a flex between 66 & 68 RA. Both are also superbly comfortable frames for their stiffness rating too!
