I have read the Blue Book entries, and as much as I could find on Bill Schick. I know that today he builds roughly ten cues a year, and of those ten the vast majority are for collectors and probably never come in contact with chalk.
But what were his production totals in his prime? Any wild ideas as to how many Schick cues are out there? The man has been building cues for decades. And even at only 10 a year for 30 years that makes about 300 cues out there. And I'm assuming there was a point when he was really churning them out to pay the bills before he could fetch a quick 10,000 for a new fancy cue.
Anybody have any more insight on this builder other than the Blue Book blurb on him?
