Just got back from making the trip up to VF to attend the Super Billiards Expo. I had the time of my life running into old friends, meeting new friends, had the honor of finally talking and enjoying some precious moments with our own CueCaps (Alton arrived from Hawaii), and enjoying some great times with everyone who had a few minutes to stop by while I was working. I had the pleasure of working in the High End Cues booth during the SBE at VF this weekend. Some great cues were on display and I thought a few pictures would be great for those who did not attend.

So enjoy the few pictures and hope to see everyone at the next event.

The Main Event...

There was an awesome display of Schick’s, George Balabushka in great condition with years of play on it, a total of 10 Szamboti’s, 5 Art Cantando cues including the Cats Eyes (a real beauty of a cue), 3 Manzinos, Prewitt and a Bender.
I had so many favorites in this line up that I could not pick a real favorite. For those of you looking for the Tribute to Bushka (8th cue from the left), that brand new Barry Szamboti cue some how or another managed to hitch a ride to Sterling, VA.
Just do not know how the hell it got into my bag!

See you next year...

Nice line-up. Thanks for posting for those of us who were not able to attend. BTW, that Bushka tribute would have been my choice too :)

If you were at the show, I missed you.
Thanks for the compliment and I am very sure that Barry appreciates it very much.
Looking forward to meeting you in the future.

I did stay under the radar until the very end and now I am very happy with my choice.
But had to move one to take the Tribute cue home.
No worries, the V cues did not attend the show.

The collection belongs to Ken Kerner (highendcues) and Ken Carfagno (kchighendcues).
I just had the pleasure of joining them with this exhibit of fine cues.
My addition is perfect and is fine company with my other Barry cue.

It was great finally being able to put a face to the screen names we see every week on the forum.
Have to agree the propeller cue is a beauty.
It is just not possible to chase them all and I truly have a piece of something I wanted...
I got another Barry cue and the tribute to George Balabushka.

Stupid Question: Why do all the cue butts look like they are different lengths?
Click to expand...
Good question: The butts are various lengths where some of the cues are 58" cues and 59" cues in that line up.
