    These rackets are from a friend of mine, so I took some photos to share with you guys.

    CAB20 CN (Red) 2UG4 Serial: 4099CN

    CAB20 CN (Blue) 2UG4 Serial: 422026CN

    IS800 2UG4 Serial: 411096CN

    CAB20 JP (Blue) 2UG4 Shaft serial: 3952943 Cone serial: 020823JP

    CAB20 SP (Blue) 2UG4 Shaft serial: 3974729 Cone serial: 270823SP

    My friend is actually thinking about selling them... If these were my rackets, I'd for sure keep them. :D

    Can badminton racket be treated as an investment where the price rises as the age increases?

    haha, i suppose it can, but it's still such a waste.
    these racquets are meant to be played, of course, this is all up to the owners to decide.

    still seems like a waste to keep one lying around to collect dust...unless that racket has won you championships everywhere and you've just hung it up on your wall of fame ;)

    How naive and ignorant! I never said it is old but mention it as Legend means it really live up to its name and quality.

    the red Cab20 is absolutely rare! not only was it one of the earlier generations, but also a CN! even the blue one is a gem, very rare to see old logo Cab20 CN these days.

    the other JP and SP though, are easier to find.

    thanks for sharing the photos.

    The red one can be classified as rare (but not extremely :p). The orange and green ones are harder to find.

    Hi Ar Dan,

    It seems your friend has already consigned the captioned five rackets to MongKok Rose Sport Shop for sales, because I saw them in MongKok Rose few weeks ago, but there were no price tags on them. When I asked the shop assistant for price of red CN Cab 20, she said it cost over HKD2,000, but without confirming the price, then I asked the price of that SP lavendar Cab 20, again, she said each of the racket cost over HKD2,000, it seems she didn't have the zeal to entertain me, then I said nothing but left. Any badminton racket fanatic can have a look of these legend rackets in MongKok Rose, if interested.

    ouch, that's a good return on an investment ... even allowing for inflation!
