These are first generation Moori's brought back from Japan in the mid 90s. I bought 3 or 4 hundred of them in the different hardnesses of them.

Players figure Moori-tip quality has gone to hell. Could you buy two new, authentic Moori tips and compare them to yours?

Congrats! Until the crown is passed along, it's yours to wear.
About 25 years ago, I got a little hat pin for being the King in our VNEA league. Nice little keepsake.

Last night was the 8-ball league payout, my team came in first again this session to a good natured (I think) round of boos.
I was crowned the King of break and runs with 10.
Today I played one pocket with my normal opponent and beat him 6 straight games while occasionally mentioning how good it was to be the king.
He got rather upset and quit, it was a lot of fun for me, him not so much.

I miss the old days, watching you run out against me.
Congrats on being the king. Next time your opponent quits, text me and I will head down to the flats and whoop up on you. Take me about two hours to get there. Ain't skeered.

Absolutely, they improved. It was still a transition period when they launched MO and took time before phasing out the overlays.
I'm no expert on everything Meucci, and my only focus is 1975-1989. I don't think you'll find examples beyond the mid-late '80's, but can't say so definitively.

The earlier post telling Moori's story was from 2016 and AZers complained then of lower quality Moori tips. Moori's quality or counterfeit problems, therefore, started sometime between the 1990s and 2016.

Wrong. Inaccurate. False. Error. Thirty lashes and no grog tonight.

They did continue with some of these overlay designs into the MO series, and just a few other examples I've found. I do know that the '84 Gambler was inlayed, and the overwhelming majority of models from 75-89 were also inlayed. I guess I only disagree that they made "tons" of them in that era, just some.

I wholeheartedly agree that those examples are not nearly as desirable. Too many better options for the money.

So they actually improved then?

To my knowledge, all of their current cues have inlays. And they actually look better in real life then on the website.

No these have been kept in the canisters inside a ziplock bag since I originally bought them in the 90s and I've never had a problem with them
