Collectable Wood shafts?

Personally - for me, old original, reasonably straight and smooth shafts from Brunswick pre 1960, any Rambow, Balabushka, Szamboti (Gus) would be of interest in terms of owning.
I will add to this cues, including shafts owned and played by historic great players from the 1920s thru the 1990s - after that you get into laminated wood or CF- which I have no interest in collecting.

Agree with that. I would also add that if you have early Joss, Scruggs, or other well-known makers shafts that are straight and not too thin, those are collectible too. Part of the reason is these good shafts were made before the release of The Color of Money, which made demand for maple so high, the trees were likely cut sooner than they should have been. In fact, I'm sure of that, because like all of us have seen, many shafts made afterwards were light and absorbed chalk much easier than the older shafts.

Question,
Which custom cue makers use the pin size as McDermott (3-8*10)?

Many can if they are building you a cue.

Diveney's old stuff circa 2012 used to be some type of surgical or radial... but I think anything within the last decade has been a modified 3/8-10. A Diveney shaft will fit on a McDermott and a McDermott shaft will fit on a Diveney. I'm not really familiar with other makers, but 3/8-10 is pretty common as is radial. My advice is to avoid any oddball or proprietary type pins as it just makes getting a new shaft a pain in the rear.

There was a "judgment", which in this case is a mediation agreement by contract with a television production company. The "judge" is a contracted mediator.

Getting the money is another matter.

I think getting the $ on the show is a non-issue.

The show resolves the matter and pays accordingly on behalf of the participants.

Now on my desk? People owe me millions and I have judgements from Court. There you're accurate!
