In 1975 (give or take a couple of years) a local sporting goods store was selling off their table tennis stuff.  I didn't actually know anything about table tennis but I was fascinated with the idea so I bought two sheets of rubber.  Those two sheets of rubber sat unopened and unused from then until now.

Clearly, anyone buying these is after a collector's item or for nostalgia.  Maybe you have an old 1975 paddle and you'd like to put real 1975 rubber on it.  The bad news is that both of these sheets are red but the good news is that if you're playing by 1975 rules, you could still have the same color on both sides.

Package #1 is Yasaka Mark V in 2.00mm, color red.  Package #2 is Yasaka Hi-Original, also 2.0mm in red.  Both packages are in their original plastic wrap but the Mark V plastic wrap is torn along the right side.  Of course, this shouldn't be an issue for the rubber but I want to be thorough.

My price is $90 for both sheets, plus $10 shipping in the USA.  For shipping outside the USA, please contact me and I'll see what the real cost will be.

There is some point to that.  But I was thinking more of someone who wanted to assemble a "classic" smooth paddle of the 1960s-1970s and would like some "new" rubber.  From a playing point of view, I doubt that any rubber or that era (even fresh from the manufacturer) would have the power or spin of a modern rubber. 

If I had been a serious player in the 1970s, I would be tempted to pull out whatever paddle I saved from those days, put these rubbers on it, and then frame it on the wall. Of course, I could be way off in the price, but I figure if someone wants it for a different price, they'll let me know.

I just realize that I still have these and I'd still consider all offers.
