I wonder just how much surface scratches……minor stuff you have to look carefully to even notice……matters?
Why not just step back 2-3 feet and look at the cue again. If those scratches aren’t apparent, it’s sort of picayune.
Now if you want museum quality, you better be prepared to only carry photos of that precious cue in your cue case.
I don’t consider myself a pool cue collector, just an owner. IMO, pool cues are meant to be played not just admired.
