Basketballs have never been Beta Items, even though people call them that, it's been a misconception for a long time - and there were zero plant released during Beta Testing too, so there are no Beta Plants whatsoever, just old cool unobtainable ones c:

Guys, you might like to check out the listing of Beta Items on this page here:

[|Beta Testing &amp; Item Listing]

It's been around for a while, is pretty concise, and all the info has been thoroughly researched and backed by old Beta Jammer Blogs etc etc. Very good reference point.

In a nutshell though, only items released during the games Beta Testing period - July 2010 to September 9 2010 - are "Beta". They never stop being Beta, regardless of if they have never left stores (i.e. Necklace in Jam Mart), or if they return to stores at some point (ie Fountain at the Jammer Parties). Beta Items are always Beta Items and the only change with them is their trading value.

And the opposite, any item that had it's first release after September 9 2010 can never become Beta - it doesn't matter if it's in store, out, or if people call it Beta, if it wasn't released during above dates, it simply is not a true Beta Testing Item (or Beta Item).

Hope this is helpful :)
