Is it unviable for manufacturers like Aramith to make small runs of older sets again?

There is obviously a market for balls like the Roman numbers, Card Ball/Poker Pool balls with suits on them, and so on. I mean if they see, that these old sets sell for a big amount second hand, won‘t they think about making a re-run and cash in on the hype? I have no clue how the balls are exactly made, but if they produced them once, they still should have moulds/templates or whatever is used to produce said ball sets again.

Just curious here…

Would trade you a brand new test hit purple Jacoby extreme jump cue. I love the Jacoby extreme but wanna try the mezz and if I don’t like it as well I’ll buy another extreme

I'd guess it was a shot that always cost him or one that would open up his options if he could depend on it.
Or...

not mine. But it's totally the best design IMO for ebony on ebony

Actually that was made by Mike Cochran, it just has Tim’s initials on it. Mike liked to do that shape at the top of his radial pins.

Are you saying Mike built this very cue while he was with Tim? Aside from the pin, which you’re saying Tim never used but obviously it came from Tim’s inventory, what else indicates Mike built this cue instead of Tim. I know Tim was the front man and Mike was the behind the scene builder. But based on when Mike passed away, this would have been one of the very last cue he built. The cue was completed in late 2009 and I bought it early 2010. To your way of thinking, Mike likely built most of the cues bearing Tim’s initials that came from Tim Scrugg’s shop.I really dunno nor care but it’d be nice to know the true underlying facts instead of presuming who built the cue. Frosty might be correct. This is the 1st time anyone told me this.

Nick Serdula…….where are you? I value and trust your opinion. Bob Frey……you have any opinion about Mike’s role?
Martin B., Joe V., Mark K. are experts……any thoughts on this? Did Tim never use this specific type radial pin? It seems unimaginable to me but I’m just presuming this. I defer to those who buy and sell custom cues professionally.

That's a pre op pic cause your sinuses would be packed with gauze, and the worst pain ever in my life was the 3 weeks after surgery where they pulled the packing out. While it opened up a world of smells, worst pain.
