Did Charlie Ursitti send you photos of Mosconi's cues? I saw them in person about 6 weeks ago in Allentown... Mosconi's son Bill met me there. He is very private, but Charlie and I are close and so are they. I have to say that what struck me is how well Mosconi maintained his tips/ferrules, and the cues have no damage.... not even the bumpers. I would kill to be able to buy one of these but I can't ..... It would be killer to hit with one of Mosconi's cues and get the feel of how top players' cues hit back then. Wow is all I have to say. And Bill Mosconi is a super-nice, easygoing guy. Shane Johnson said you wished for one of Mosconi's cues.... here is your chance bro.... good luck..... john
