Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

Do you have a Joe Thomas?

JV (-- Owns 4 cues
There's a name you don't hear much unless you lived around the northwest Ohio.
Never got to meet Joe. He was at the end of his career and I was greener than a greenhorn.
Had what I thought was an appt to look at what he had for a shop and possibly buy it when I found out it got sold to another.
I still have one of his cues I was able to pick up when I lived close to Toledo.
I remember driving thru north Toledo and seeing a hall the had their sign with Joes name on it at the bottom as the house repair man.
When I went back to see if I could buy the sign and the hall was closed down and the sign was gone.
That's all I remember.....

Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

I have always hated calcuttas for the most part.

It affords someone who is not playing, the opportunity to affect the outcome of a tournament.

Nothing like having the top calcutta pick on the ropes and having all hell break loose on the sidelines with the sharking/arguments tying to give their horse an edge to get back in the match.

Or being a top pick and having the guy who bought you sweat your every move, having a heart attack on each and every shot where you have to tell them to stop riding you so hard, that you would rather threaten them with losing just to get them off your back. Where you'd gladly go home at that point, after having told them to f*ck off.

Been there, done that.
I was so talented, that at one point I could buy myself for $20, and sell myself for $12.50.
