Identification of a genuine Balabuska?

ID of genuine Balabushka?

Is this the cue you are looking to match an older Adam Bushka to?
I have one available. PM sent to you.

He must have forgotten to sign mine. :)

I have an Adam Japan Hall of Fame cue (Balabushka copy) without any markings at all. A signature on those cues make it look cheap, IMHO.

The most accessible authority for authenticating a cue made by George is Pete Tascarella period. He's the most knowledgeable...

My response to the OP's question, many have spent many years and/or paid big $ to know some of those answers and not many are willing to share.

LOL! :thumbup:

Sports autographs and COAs are one of the biggest scams going!

The vast majority of COAs aren't worth the paper they are printed on as far as I am concerned.

For pool cues either the person who made it, their apprentice, or the greatest expert on their work is the best. In the case of the current topic I think everybody will agree who that is.

There are antique dealers, supposed "experts", that sell cues at auction that regularly misidentify them.

Years ago I worked at one of John Elway's car dealerships.
I had him sign his rookie card.
I know its a real signature but have no way to prove it.
Catch 22.

Agreed, for Balabushka, Pete Tascarella hands down... for Gus's, Barry.
