Inside the USPS Priority Mail shipping box ... the 54 balls are in 18 3-ball Pinnacle sleeve boxes ... the 51 used balls being shipped inside recycle sleeve boxes are for the winning bidder's convenience and in no way are these used balls being represented as new ... (however, if your normal foursome sees you take out one of these used balls from a sleeve at the first tee, they may get intimidated thinking you're actually using a new ball, and they just might get the message you're ready to take their skins ...) ... Note: ... the sleeve boxes match the model as best as possible ... most of the sleeves will in turn be shipped inside recycle dozen boxes ...
