Bob Byrne Estate Sale

Thank you Dennis for stepping up to the plate and helping out the USBA. All players that are interested please don't wait and call him now.

This is so cool of Dennis to do this for Bob and the USBA, Thanks you my friend.

I suggest anyone interested in a piece of billiard history to contact Dennis to get on the list. I think everything will become clear in the coming month or so.

Dave

There have been some on this forum asking what we have done for billiards, well this is Dennis doing his part with some very positive action! Way to go Dennis. We should all be responsible to keep this thread on the 1st page.

Peace.

Good luck Dennis

I hope this is OK w/Dennis but I want to get things rolling in full force: I will be posting the Catalog that Dennis put together in several separate posts to make sure it's not too large. Please contact Dennis with any interest...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, here it is, for what it is worth, definitely a labor of love. I might note that I still have 3-5000 single pages of BB’s notes, correspondence, etc to go over that I may never do. Some one send me $5000 for the USBA and you can have it, otherwise, later than sooner I might get around to reviewing this stuff.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS MATERIAL AND SUPPORT OF THE USBA.


BOB BYRNE ESTATE AUCTION

Bob Byrne, in his last will and testament bequeathed to the United States Billiard Association [USBA] his collection of books, video tapes and DVDs, personal correspondence and other such esoterica for it to sell for the benefit of carom billiards, a game he loved above all others.

I have been assigned by the USBA to catalogue this collection and auction it off to this end. It is turning out to be much more arduous task than I imagined, especially as I AM NOT GETTING PAID TO DO IT.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AUCTION:
Unless otherwise noted any item may be bid upon by anyone at any time for a MINIMUM BID of $100. When any given item is bid upon I will announce such in an email blast to all others who might be interested and the auction ON THAT ITEM will last for a fortnight from the hour and the day the first bid is tendered. In other words this auction will be open ended and go on till everything is sold or is burnt on my funeral pyre, which ever comes first......LOL.

The winning bidder on any said item will then need to send a check to the Treasurer of the USBA plus $20 for packing, shipping and insurance. When your check has cleared I will send out the item purchased PLUS a letter of appreciation [suitable for framing, on USBA stationary] for your contribution to the game attesting that said item was from Bob’s Collection. It will be signed by myself which should be worth at least $100 on its own when I am gone......LOL.

BIDS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY E MAIL ONLY AND MUST INCLUDE YOUR “BIRTH NAME”
[any bid submitted with just your “handle” or “tag name” will not be accepted],
SHIPPING ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER.
PMs ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE AND WILL NOT BE RESPONDED TO.

Of course you may feel free to call me at any time that you just want to bullshit.
All sales are final and all items are sold as is, where is, with all faults and defects. All items are available for inspection but for that you must make a trip down to scenic Rockbridge County down in Virginia where I live. EVERY ITEM on this list I have personably catalogued and described, as to the best of my knowledge, intelligence and ability; any errors or omissions are not intended and the desrciptions in this catalogue can no way be used in any future claims against myself, the USBA nor the Estate of Bob Byrne, on any basis what-so-ever

PLEASE NOTE, CERTAIN ITEMS HAVE A MINIMUM BID HIGHER THAN $100
AND MAY NEED MORE THAN $20 FOR SHIPPING.

You may designate to myself, Dennis Dieckman, that your bid is a Maximum Bid in which case I will use my best efforts to obtain the item you are bidding on at the lowest price, not to exceed your Maximum Bid. Keep in mind many of these items are available on various sites on the internet for much less than the minimum bid listed, but the if you buy them there you will not be helping out the USBA. AND YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING A FRAME ABLE LETTER FROM THE USBA ATTESTING THAT THE ITEM YOU BOUGHT ONCE BELONGED TO BOB BYRNE.
To say nothing of the fact it also has my DNA on it.....LOL

Included in this catalogue, all monies also going to the USBA, will be some stuff I still have from the CARL CONLON ESTATE AUCTION as well as stuff I myself have accumulated over the years. Buy it now or it will fuel my funeral pyre.

MANUSCRIPTS, LETTERS, OTHER SUCH STUFF

Bryne, Robert. Typewritten manuscript for McGOORTY, 230 plus pages, 8.5" x 11", with notes and corrections by the author. From what I can determined Bob dictated this and then had a professional typist produce this document, which he then edited and sent to his publisher. Minimum Bid: $2000

----------------. 1.5 inches thick, 8.5" x 11", all off Bob’s notes for BYRNE’S STANDARD BOOK OF BILLIARDS, or whatever it was called. Probably the most influential book ever written about the game. It is not a sport. If you are interested in this item be prepared to make a significant donation to the USBA. Keep in mind you can buy the book on Amazon for 20 bucks or less, BUT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT and consists of hundreds and hundreds of 8.5 x 11 pages including many letters that people sent him with trick shots and his replies to them. I have yet to go thru this pile page by page but will bee doing it soon as it is the last thing left to catalogue. Minimum Bid, as is, un-inventorried $2000

-----------------. HOLOGRAPHIC NOTES ON 4 X 6 CARDS [YELLOW] Bob took notes, in fact he took them of 4" x 6" cards [which is really weird as I also eat 4x6's for breakfast. AT ANY RATE, each card illustrates just one shot and there are just enough of his personal code so he could remember but no one else would understand. Now this is a double weird because I still do the same thing myself. THIS STACK OF 4X6's is 1.75 inches AND TRUST ME I HAVE NOT EVEN COUNTED THEM LET ALONE LOOKED AT EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY but they are all there, perhaps 175-200 separate shots IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING and SHOT DRAWINGS. ABSOLUTELY ON OF A KIND. Minimum Bid: $1000.

When I was a poor and destitute upstart cue builder he put me up whenever I was in chi city which was many times. HE IS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE TEACHERS OF THE GAME I HAVE EVER HAD.......his book [and he could have said everything in 33 pages] IS A MUST READ .

How Cool is This...

Billiard Congress of America. BOB BYRNE’s HALL OF FAME GREEN JACKET.

The BCA stole this idea from the world of golf, specifically the jacket that THE MASTERS awards to the winner of its tournament. It says “tailored in the USA” but where did the cloth come from???? Not Simonis, I will bet. As of 1997 the BCA had 35 members of its hall of fame. Since then I am not sure how many they have added. If there are more than 50 of these green jackets out there you can KMA. Minimum Bid $1000
