Haha… fair observation. Guilty as charged, at least in part.

Some of the cues I acquire eventually do get sold after they’re documented, while others find a permanent home in my own collection. The research is honestly one of the parts I enjoy most.

I’ve found that I’m especially drawn to obscure cues that don’t have an obvious identity but have interesting construction, unusual features, or a story waiting to be uncovered. To be sure, I’ve also acquired my fair share of complete flops along the way, but that’s part of the fun too.

Whether a cue ultimately turns out to be custom, production, homemade, or an import doesn’t really matter to me. I’m just trying to learn what it is and preserve as much accurate information as I can before it eventually moves on to its next owner—or finds a permanent home in my display case.

This forum has an incredible amount of collective knowledge, and I genuinely appreciate everyone willing to share their expertise and help broaden my own.

With all of that being said… I suppose I’d better go post my third mystery cue of the day. I wouldn’t want anyone getting bored.

Losing an argument with the forum trying to reply. Anyway, Roberts died in 1964. I think it was over a decade before a major stockcar team used green in their color scheme. I could have painted my first stock car green but painting it green to defy superstition was even sillier than following the superstition.

That was true up until the 60's when sponsorship $$$$$ meant way more than lame superstition.








Roberts died in 1964. I think it was Darrell Waltrip that broke the green superstition, maybe with a gatoraid car that was green and white. Been a long time and my memory ain't as sharp as it could be. There were a few green cars in local racing when I started, no serious racers had green on their cars. Mine were close to STP red. My benchrest gun was the same color and my racehorse was a sorrel.

I can't think of one good reason to have anything green that I am competing with. A multi-million dollar sponsor might change my mind. Some people did lose out on pretty major sponsorships for refusing to drive a car with green on it.
