I'm going to go through the description thouroughly because the cue is not 100%, but it is still very good. Both shafts have Ivory ferrules. Wrap is dirty, which is typical for a white with green spec linen wrap. there is a scuff in the butt sleeve, I took a picture of it. The finish in the forearm near the joint is rubbed off, took a pic but isn't that visible, just letting you know. Other than that the cue rolls straight both together and apart.
Specs:
Birdseye maple forearm with 4 ebony points with Titlist colored veneers
Steel joint with big pin (think it's 3/8 x 12, no brass inserts in shafts, see pics)
butt weighs 15.41
both shafts have ivory ferrules and moori med. tips
shaft 1 12.75mm weighs 4.09
shaft 2 12.75mm weighs 4.08 (has a crack in the ferrule, see pic)
SOLD

SS joint sleeve on a 3/8x12 joint pin, that's quite rare for a TAD, he usually pairs his big joint pin with a phenolic or micarta joint.

From what I understand, this model is an exclusive from J&J selling for $3500 as of a few years ago, it may have gone up. Nice cue at a great price!

Last I talked to J&J @ the TAD Cup, they said that they haven't gotten very many hoppe cues from TAD lately. When I talked to Fred, they seem to be focused on other models.
 
Nice offering. With a little $$$ added, to refinish and that would be a dandy.

Sweet cue from here in the land of Tad! Didn't Tad recently raise the price of all his cues by a bunch?

yes plain janes went from $1800 to $2000 a few years ago, and so on I think this cues retails for $3500 +. someone should jump on this cue.
 
Christmas is almost here, this cue will make a great gift, even if it's to yourself
 
Are you interested in a trade plus some cash difference?
