This is a hobby that has always worked better when it's collectors dealing with other collectors and not people attempting to make a living from it.

Problem is that a lot of cue makers these days only sell through dealers. So even collector "0" need to go through a dealer and pay the fee that keeps on rolling with the cue price.
I think that a lot of cues are just being flipped over and over between dealers and flippers, so the market look alive, I wouldn't be surprised that reality is a lot more sadder.

Huge implications for Mosconi Cup.

If Fedor doesn't finish higher than Thorsten then the German is an automatic pick for Team USA at the Mosconi.

And that would mean Johan would need to use a wild card on Fedor.

Team Europe vs Team Ex-Europe.

I hope Thorsten gets on the MC just to have some new (old? Old-new? New-old?) blood on the team. He'd be at least as good as any other option for the 4th/5th spots.

Interesting that Filler is not in this

Spades, where? Count me in. Nils worth 100. No blind nil.

Hohmann is playing Chezka Centeno in the first round, he might get beaten by a girl.... hahaha

A lot of unknown Filipino players, will we get a new star?
