    I just require ONE.

    Thanks!

    Even if someone were able to donate a a ball cup, they may not be willing to ship for free. But if you really want to go on the cheap, why not just rest the ball on the thumb hole?

    Yeah you can stack bowling balls on top of each other very carefully on the thumbholes. I have gotten them to go 4-5 high without falling over. Alley balls work best for this.

    I am really trying to figure out what you need a display cup for anyway? If you can't come up with $4 for it, which would be better spent on bowling anyway, what is the point?

    I have a ring in my bag that I use. It came from a cheap scarf I bought for my wife at Target. It works perfect to keep a ball in place. A win win for me.

    I don't find it very silly. We are trying to help you and to figure out the purpose of needing a ball display cup.

    Why would someone need a ball cup (other than to display a ball)?

    Some bowlers carry a couple in their bag to use as extra places to set balls at the lanes. Like at a tournament when the ball return is full and they want to have a spare/other ball out.

    Having one to set your ball on while you clean it at the table or work on the thumb or finger holes (taping , gluing etc).

    if you have several balls at home, they make it easier to shelf store the balls.

    Also it's better than setting balls directly on a hard floor so they don't develope a flat spot. ( though you should rotate balls setting on cups, as they can dent the ball during long term storage also.)

    I was looking for a display cup to store on my dresser. To use go help in cleaning and polishing too.

    Right now I am using a custard dish.

    Seriously though, I clean my bowling ball with a cleaner every night I bowl without a bowling ball display cup. I first do the non thumb hole side, then do the thumb hole side. I do keep use a display cup, since I do other ball maintenance stuff, like change finger inserts, widen thumb holes, etc., but not needed when cleaning a ball.

    Innovative sells plastic cups for $0.90. I'm sure you'll pay more for shipping though.
