Dealings with Joe Salazar Connoisseur of Cues

Yeah I get that. My assumption is that she was going with the “prove it’s yours” angle or simply that they can’t prove it.

That is a lot more logical if this guy didn’t have a website, didn’t report income and wasn’t operating like a real business. If this was just a side hustle she can say cue collecting was his hobby so just like his other possessions she claims ownership.

That is of course really hard to do if this guy was running a legitimate business that easily shows customers properties in his possession.
If the affected parties have email correspondence with Joe, containing details, photographs of their cue/s, some form of contractual arrangement/s, etc, they might have a better shot than just verbal agreement. I don't know his Wife/family, but if they were together for any length of time, I have a hard time believing that she didn't understand at least some scope of his dealings. Just my opinion/s. A tough situation for the parties involved.

How good was George Breedlove

As noted, George was an action player first, a tournament player second. I am no position to rate him as an action player, but I saw him up close at tournaments on several occasions.

As a tournament player, his best years were probably in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was among those that left the PBT for CJ Wiley's PCA tour, along with some other top players that included Strickland and Rempe. He'd have been about the tenth ranked player on that tour, one who often found his way to the late rounds but rarely won an event. Perhaps he was the Alex Kazakis of his day, being capable of near perfect play but rarely finding the finish line against the toughest fields. George had one of the best breaks in the world, so he sometime sat opponent's down for racks at a time.

Man, I miss breaking like that.

I wish we could find a way to bring it back, but you say that isn't possible.

Annoying resonant rattle/buzz coming from wrap area - please advise

Couldn't tell you, if that is it, it may be a small piece of threaded rod that wasn't glued properly, or if no rod used, something wrong with the wood tenon at the joint. You really need to contact the cue maker to see what they think it is, and if it is worth fixing given the price range of the cue. Are you checking for the sound with the shaft on? If so it may be the ferrule on the shaft even though you say it's the butt area.
I would contact the cue maker and not wait till the next expo. A reputable maker would want to make that right. Just call them up and see what they say. That really should be the first thing to do.
Nah, that's with the shaft off. It is certainly the butt, sans weight bolt, unfortunately. I'll send over a message to them and will keep you guys updated. Thanks again.

The laws governing "bailment" apply to businesses as well as to individuals, neither can simply confiscate another's property without due cause.
