Andrew Diamond Pool Cue? Anyone?

It not surprising that no one has answered you, do you have any idea how many home town cue makers there are?

One year at the trade show, Palmer cues and Balner....few years later....Andy Diamond with the same cues with his logo. If he would have stayed around a little longer, he might have been somewhat successful.

From what I understand, Andrew Diamond had a line of cues made, by Adam / Helmstetter, in Japan. He may have designed the line, but I do not know. I think that I read somewhere that he told people at the trade shows that he was a custom pool cue maker himself (lol), and that he made them. He did not though. Not even sure if he even designed them. He may have just invested in a line of cues, and had Adam put his Logo on the cues, and left it up to Helmstetter to do the designs. I do not know. All that I do know (for a fact) is that his line of cues were made by the Adam / Helmstetter cue company, in Japan. I am guessing maybe late 80's / early 90's? I believe that it would have been around the same time that the 86/87 Series Helmtetter cues were being made, because the butts were a little shorter then normal, and the shafts were a little longer then normal (for approximately a 1" difference in length), and it gave the cues a nice forwards balance, in my opinion. Anyways, they were basically Helmstetter cues, in my opinion. Just with the Andrew Diamond (D logo) on them.
By the way, sorry for bumping a 16 year old thread, lol, but I was actually looking for opinions on the value of my Diamond cue too. I am guessing the value is not much, because though the butt of my cue rolls perfect, the shaft is warped. So, I have actually been needing a shaft for the cue. It is the only cue that I currently have, but I really love the design. These may not have much value, even if in perfect condition. Not sure though. They sure are super rare though, for whatever that is worth.
