    My old Tim Scruggs Catalogs

    catalogs Really cool. I ordered my first custom cue from Tim when he was in the old building around 1986. My cue isn't pictured but the idea for it was from the cues he showed with ivory windows in the butt sleeve. I got mine with veneered windows. Still have it and it's my favorite player...

    Helmstetter Price??

    Helmstetter Looks like a tribute to Southwest meets Dufferin. 5 shafts a little unusual. 2 billiard shafts and 3 pool shafts. Probably not worth much. These are mostly pretty good quality production cues. Personally I like wood on wood joints like these. My guess is in the neighborhood of...

    Debating if I should just quit with the expensive custom cues..?

    Realistically, what year does this headline happen?

    top players In case you missed this....top tennis players and golfers are alrerady playing money games. I watched an interview with a golfer who's ranked outside the top 100 players who cleared way over a million bucks playing golf last year. Not many pool players can say that....even...

    Balabushka owned by Willie Mosconi

    Mosconi Cue Saw that cue many years ago in Chicago. Call me a pessimist but this looks like it should be filed in the "too good to be true" drawer. Seller has no track record. Price is VERY low for this documented stick. This doesn't pass the smell test. What do you think?

    Brunswick Hoppe question

    Hoppe value There are some Hoppe cues that I wouldn't fool with, like an all original ebony model in 95% condition with the original shipping tube and sales reciept. But the more common Hoppes in average condition go for around $300.00 to $500.00. I have seen many that have been very nicely...
