Now that is a jewelry looking piece of art.....my kinda cue..... Would it be above or below 5 figures?

In the early 70's....Mr. Willie Elder took Mr. Willie Mosconi on an exhibition tour thru Texas. I was lucky enough to get in two shows one day and watch him run a 100 balls effortlessly. After the trick shot portion of the show, he would answer questions from the audience. After fielding all...

Import cue.....Taiwan probably....

All the left over cues that have been sitting in closets and unused for years......are all gone. I bought all of them....just to keep the prices higher on new cues.

There really was not a conflict, Turning Stone has been filled for months with many on a waiting list. Sure, many would have liked to play in both events but sometimes things just do not work out in the venue booking department and if anything, Mark provided another event for the players that...

I heard it was going to have 16 Gold Crown 5's and a slew of Valley bar boxes.

This thread is so old, I don't even remember if I have posted in it yet. I quit counting when I got to 500, Wifey used to have a problem with so much lumber.

Cool.....I have been labeled a genius.....again.

What are you spraying with these days? Nice gloss on a striking coco cue.

It was an amazing event for sure.....Up until that time, I didn't think I would ever see a performance in a tournament that would equal Bob Vanovers 9 racks and out at the Texas Open. But only a mere 15 or so years later....Earl shot the lights out.

I would like to buy both sets.....let me know how....

McDermott has a special refinish, rewrap, and a new shaft for around $250......the cue will be brand new when you get it back. If your old shaft is repairable, just a little more.

Thanks for the report....really sorry I couldn't make the trip. Junior probably played in every tournament that I ran in on the old Southwest Tour, the McDermott Tour, and the National Tour. If possible, a complete report with pics would look great on the Main Forum.

Saw a brand new Fellini twisted like a pretzel after a drive to Vegas from Texas. It was probably the short stay in Arizona and 100+ degrees in the trunk. The leather shrank and despite all attempts to straighten it out.....well....lesson learned.

I used to have one of those jars displayed on my desk in the pro shop.....probably saved me a few headaches....I kept it full of pennies for people to keep score with during the tournaments.

Looks like an old style McDermott weight bolt in the first pic.....but it isn't a McD cue .

I have been missing Paul for many years now....never got close to his shop to have a visit or to see him after he retired. He was always a must visit at the Trade Show and we exchanged many ideas about cues, the sport, the billiard industry in general. I think the last time I saw him was at...

I was there...finished 9th.....Ton of champions that I had been reading about for years....didn't even get in the cash. The real players showed....Shake and Bake and Lil Al in the finals.....Still one of the greatest matches I have seen. Shame Bill and Mike took so many great pics.....and none...

Glad you bumped it....or I woulda missed it.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY RG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............RA

BINGO!!!!!!!!!......I have a dozen or so stacks of boxes about 5 feet high against a back wall in my man cave. After moving a couple of tons of billiard crap, I completely lucked out.....and found that I had put all the American Cueist mags in the first couple of rows. Found wanted issue...
