Any good cues here?

Terrible picture so I am going with no.
As far as "collections" go, you are far better off having just a few really good quality cues than a whole wall or two of cheap low budget cues.

I see two that might be some count.
lol, potato.Can you re-take the photo with a camera instead of a potato?
Or is that how the online listing looks when you zoom in and hope someone here can identify a cue that you can make a quick buck from?
I've purchased cues at auctions/sales before and found some good ones but haven't sold any.
Kinda what I was thinking. I know the pic quality makes it difficult.
The first cue on the left is a Players.
dont know
any good photos?

Revising post. Got a minute to look on my PC big screen.
2 maybe 3, maybe more possible worth looking at.
First cue. Maybe Lishan, maybe other Taiwan. Possible Adam.
Second Cue, could be crap, could be several decent cues like a bottom end Mayer, National, or Gandy.
Third cue likely Taiwan, but maybe Lishan et al, or Adam
Fourth house cue. Looks typical not special
Fifth, The one with the black wrap, looks bumperless, might be something.
Sixth, Third from right, looking maybe bottom end Gandy or National, like HC-110, or similar cue
Seven, might be Taiwan crap, could be Mayer or something like that. Cues has red veneers on the points. He did red veneers with some fancy butt sleeves.
Nothing "big" but several potential interesting.
Bottom end cues from known makers can look like junk cues at a glance, especially in fuzzy pictures. They are in fact harder to spot because of that. So, can't be afraid to speculate.
I would definitely like better pics of them.
Of course, if cue number 3 turns out to be a Spain we will all be screaming like little girls.

You cue sleuths are all missing the cane use on the right.
According to many sellers on eBay...worth a fortune.

The cane cue is a dead giveaway for the others . I would exercise with more caution but I do see some with is white joints?
That's funny. I bought a cue out of a group with a cane cue in it. Others thought it was a cheap Taiwan cue because of the "gawdy cheap plastics". It was a Karl Mayer cue. As it happens, I didn't have to buy the group, but I certainly would have.
I have, up to this point, avoided owning a cane cue.
Might have to use one when you are 80 years old or more.
I'm almost 78 and now and then I have minor balance issues.
I do occasionally use a cane. But I prefer one with a blade concealed in it.
I am only 59 but I have bilateral congenital hip defects, and torn cartilage in both knees from motorcycle misadventures.
