New Here? - Introduce Yourself

Just got back into the game after just about 22 years of not playing. I regret selling off my cue collection over the years, because a) they would be worth a lot more than what I sold them for when I did, and b) I'm a friggin' idiot for selling them in the first place. I did, however, have one stolen back in 2003.
So, now I'm old, my back hurts after playing all day and I have to wear glasses. I'm so far out of stroke it's comical. I have only been playing again for a month, and the expectations of myself are way out of whack. This fall I will likely get into some league/tourney play.
That's it. That's the post. :)
Welcome back

How far would you travel for league?

Don't know where to drop this, but in our league, we go for 6 months (20 regular nights) and pay 15/week whether we play or not. we have 50 or so players...the league operator keeps 10% for his trouble. after 20 weeks we have a playoff an the winning team gets about $13,000 to go to the BCA national championships in Vegas in Feb. Anyway, our team will be goin to Vegas next year!!

Amazing collection on Ebay

It's a pool cue not military regalia. Of course nothing else showing that it's legit.

yes, given that it indeed is legit the value of it can be crazy high, and is pushing the value of the entire collection.

it doesn't really matter that it's a pool cue either. it could be napoleon's toilet brush and rich people would wanna buy it, put it on the wall and show it to other rich people. and napoleon is of course interchangeable with peter the great or george washington or elvis presley

US Open and Mosconi coming to ESPN

Interesting. I've long thought the Mosconi was made for TV and ESPN. Of all pool events, it's the one to most attract some casual fans or even nonfans. Just the rowdiness and nationalistic aspect of it.

What would be great if is ESPN carried the first team match of the Mosconi on its main station of ESPN2. Just an hour of it.

In any case, this is good news, even if it's ESPN Plus. Though I subscribe to WNT.TV, I will watch via the ESPN app.
