I’m not reading 28 pages. Can someone summarize for me.

OP has an old Gus he thinks is worth twice what it is. He keeps butting up against those in the know, telling him his asking price / valuation is too high. He keeps insisting it’s not. 10 years later, he’s still got the cue, still insisting his valuation is solid. Still asking what the market looks like these days.

Check back next August for more of the same

Anyone want to talk about the Russian Kenny situation last night ?

iusedtoberich
The best Kenny dog I've seen was about 20 years ago at the Philly Expo. He was playing a 19 or 20 year old from NYC 8 ahead for 4k. (roughly, memory fades). Opponent was in with Scooter. It was about 5am and Kenny was on the hill. It was hot, and a drop of sweat literally fell off of his forehead onto the table and made a spot. His opponent (or Scooter, I forget now) runs up to the table and points at it and starts blabbing that he's sweating and gonna dog it. Sure enough, Kenny dogs it, and the other guy comes back to win the entire set from there. I saw this with my own eyes in person.

Unfortunately, the opponent died young in his 20's or early 30's of an overdose a few years later. I can't remember his name, he hung out with Ginky's crew from what I heard. Clean cut with dark hair.

Agree, but I would still have him over Tyler and Billy.

Tyler and Billy can't compete with the Euros on the safety game.

At least Bergman knows how to play defensive and his cue ball control is a lot tighter.

My god... we're talking about whether Billy should be on the team... American pool is so hosed. I'd bet on about 500 Europeans in a race to 11 against him.

I mean that’s not a crazy take. Shane is on the greatest players of all time, but also historically a poor performer in the MC race to 5. I’m not saying I’d make that choice, but it’s not crazy, IMO.

I went to all 4 days at the last Mosconi Cup, and SVB was the only one who turned up.

Fedor, Sky, Billy and Tyler were an embarrassment.

Shane has a bad Mosconi Cup record because he keeps getting matched up against the best Euro players.

If Shane isn't on the team, then Johan has lost the plot.

There definitely is an agenda against Shane within Matchroom.

Scott Frost on commentary was saying that if Shane doesn't make the top 3 for Mosconi Cup points, then he would pick Bergman as wild card over SVB. :ROFLMAO:

EDIT: It seems that I have a Scott Grossman cue, and that the cue maker is from, Pinedale, Wyoming.

I always love to learn any info possible about cues that I get, so I am just curious if anyone here has any thoughts about this cue maker?

I really love the looks of this cue.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but the cue is an 8 point cue, with Recuts (in the points), correct? Some sort of Burl wood, into what appears to be Ebony. And, then again, some sort of Burl wood in the butt sleeve.

And, I believe that the joint pin is a 3/8x11, just going by the looks of it.

I seem to make myself look like a fool at times, so please take it easy on me, if I am wrong about anything that I said.

Just curious to learn some info about the cue, and the cue maker, if possible.

I really love the look of the points in this cue though.

Sadly, it was clearly abused really bad, but the good news is, that it is still very straight. So, I assume that it was a very well made cue.

Thanks a lot for any thoughts, or info, about the cue maker.

Cool cue, sad finish.

Really cool design and wood.

That looks like the correct signature.

Best to ask the maker.

Did you not find contact info for him?

I found a number but I am not 100% sure it is correct.
