I'd argue that's exactly what's being done with streaming challenge matches.

Why? Genuinely curious as I draft the letters for Black Boar and often note "one of"...one, five, however many. Working on the premise that there is value in unique art and therefore, the rarer the more valuable. I would hope as long as it's coupled with "replacement" value it's acceptable? I'd...

I'm not sure I deserve that much credit, but thank you, you flatter me. I'm blushing 😊 It's not all one-sided. The things I've learned, explored, researched for Tony and/or picked up by osmosis are immeasurable, AND I get to see the pretty cues first! 🤣 I'm genuinely blessed. Come see us soon!

Tony has always said his last cues will be his best. So I guess he’s committed to outdoing himself… forever. If they’re only going to get more special, here’s to him living another couple decades This cue was 4 months and dozens and dozens of variations from conception to completion. To say it...

If the object is to attract more players and/or clean up the image than I believe it absolutely does matter, because the youth contingent IS watching streams, almost exclusively on anything and everything, and their parental figures (most especially mothers) are not likely to encourage interest...

I'm a bit surprised to not find another reference to this here... if I missed it, many apologies. Congrats to Emily Duddy (whom I don't know personally) on her Bravo TV debut! I think this is cool.... In a Man's World

For Sale- Flawless Black Boar Spider Cue 1 of 6 in a Spider Series. African Blackwood, crown butt cap, silver and mother of pearl inlays and 2 ferruless shafts. Good for you, sad for me, this cue has almost no mileage on it. It might have been used fourty hours in it's lifetime, at...
