I bought these three plaques in separate transactions on eBay a year or two after Mr. Mosconi’s death. I’d like to sell them but not sure what to ask so I’ll ask $500.00. As you can see from the photos, one is an Industry Service Award from the Billiard and Bowling Institute of America which...

Thanks for all the great advice!

Ok I finally figured out how to attach these photos. (Thanks for the 1mb info Bob.) Any thoughts on comparable items that have sold, estimates on value or any other comments or ideas? Thanks very much.

I bought three plaques on eBay shortly after Willie Mosconi died. One is an Industry Service Award from the Billiard and Bowling Institute of America. One is from Mosconi’s induction into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame (with a program from the induction ceremony). The last is a golf award...

To echo Garzar: "The older shafts will go on the new butt. Just can't put a new W2 shaft on a Wavy1 butt. I think its kinda goofy as well." Predator has used a variety of existing joints. I have a United joint on a Mezz shaft and it seems to be a very satisfactory joint. They've now created...

I play with Mezz playing cue and break cue but all these different joints are confusing and to me a big turn off. My playing cue has a United joint. It is tight as a tick and has no problems that I can perceive. Message to Mezz -- stop making different joints; it's a negative not a positive.

One of the great grandsons of the owner of LaScala Cue Club in University City, MO (room was around in the 60s and 70s) was curious about what I knew about his great grandparents' pool room. He asked me and I replied in a Conversation about what I remembered. I don't know if he wants to be...

Me too. Air Tag. The better you hide it in your case the more likely the thief won't find it and it will keep working.

I have one, use it regularly after a light Dustbustering and I think it works very well. Glad I bought it.

You are right Jay. Caras won in 1967 in St. Louis. I was there.

I have seen pocket blockers. A fellow who travels around in a large motorhome comes to our pool hall in the winter every year. He puts these pocket blockers into a pocket billiards table and plays and teaches three-cushion billiards. Don't know who made them but they seem to work fine. I'll...

Thanks for the Like Jay. It means a lot to me as I am a big fan of yours.

Concerning Meucci-- I know of no product of any type sold in the US that has such a high percentage of owners and former owners who go out of their way to tell people how bad the product and customer service are and how they would never ever buy another. With solid American cue makers like...

I thought Scott did a fine job, spoke clearly, had interesting insights and explained a lot of things other commentators would likely have overlooked.

My favorite Mosconi Cup commentator is Allison Fisher; best by far!

My favorite MR commentator is Allison Fisher; best by far!

Rotten Mouth Johnson -- used to play at Grand-Olive Billiards in St. Louis.

Great stories from mr3cushion and all the others. I've been kicking around the pool world since the early '60s and I never ran across any big gambling at 3 cushion. mr3cushion did you ever play at Grand-Olive Billiards in St. Louis? Freddie B told me he played in his only three cushion...

My team won the APA Division Championship one season a few years ago and we all received a blue plastic eight inch trophy. I came home proud as a peacock, that is until my eight year old said "Dad the second grade Chess Club trophies looked better than that one."
