Nobody is selling anything here?? I thought this forum was for folks from AZB selling their goods, not some guy on another site getting promoted here every 5 minutes....
'Bout like a Merc Comet.....you remember the '70s right? :blush:

While this cue is going to Pete, lets talk about it (if you want). Great George-esque fancy butt. Looks to have a leather wrap which is a huge add. Gus-looking rings which are the bomb. I guess it would be a Spain maple blank? Maybe I've seen one of those (maybe not). late 1973 could be Gus? George would added that 1/2 circle inlay just above the wrap? Then those kinda Rambow looking dots in the arm? I think I maybe have once seen a Bushka with one dot in each position but this one has dots everywhere. And what's with that ring above the wrap?
If the cue is right, that George business card receipt is KILLER.
Lots of guys have said it's too birds-eye to be a George, but I don't see that.
Lots of questions and few answers from me. Fill me in!

WOW reading the responses to this thread IMHO is like reading MAD magazine.
This cue is 100% a Balabushka, 100% a Spain forearm, and if I owned 35k in cues by any living cuemakers, they would all be for sale to buy this cue. In fact if I owned 50k in living cuemakers cues I would take 35k and then buy this cue.

If I was a player for it, it would be mine already.
I would bang rosie o donnel for the money to buy this cue.

LOL. That's funny.
5 veneer Spain. What do you see in that Buska ring? Looks like gold vertical lines????
Kevin
That is the bushka wedding band ring. I have seen less than 5 cues where that ring in over the wrap.

I don't see anything in the pics that doesn't look George, aside from the sheer uniqueness of it....which initially made me question it, too. It's humorous to see and hear things like so-and-so would have never done that (i.e. figured maple in the blank). We've all heard that one a lot. This cue is proof that you just never know what all was done or tried. It's emergence is also what continues to excite us fellow cue junkies, because you can't help wonder what other gems are out there, unknown or undiscovered to our little community.![]()
This thread has almost 5,000 views so obviously people are interested.
The cue listed in this thread IS for sale and the owner came here to talk about it.
While this thread may be over bumped; I think it is due to the rarity and overall excitement generated by this rare cue.
Regardsless of the reason it's overbumped, it's against the rules. And overly so.
This is complete BS and should be in another forum NOT wanted for sale if you all want to have a discussion.
But as usual, most of you don't give a $hit unless it effects YOU directly.
For those that missed the craigslist listing. Here's the ended ebay auction where the seller removed the listing.
