I believe in size and strength. At 6-3 and north of 270 I can generate a lot for a break shot. My cueball barely ever leaves the table. Now if someone wants to try or think they can reduce the randomness of a break shot, with a cue, and a +/- strength of stroke and they feel they have some level...

When you want to be the hot one in your trio make sure the other two.... well... aren't. JV

If I am traveling light, Fellini 1x2, I am absolutely ok with a house cue for breaking. I understand the need for a break / jump, but I feel the importance and accuracy of a break cue is widely overstated. JV

If you list a cue online, know you are going to get people that think they know, when they don't, commenting. For the life of me, price knocking and making market comments are different, but why bother? A listing for a Schon and someone will say I saw the same cue for 300 less. The other guy...

You have to fade the railbirds even with buying and selling. JV

Just came across my feed that it is his birthday today.... JV

Blacklight is a good way.... Ivory will light up under blacklight. As you can see with the butt cap and one ferrule since they are not ivory, they show grey. JV

a couple left....

Yes it is.

Sorry to hear that... Spoke with him a month or two ago... RIP... JV

The Feds tell you to check with your state laws in regards to OWNING and SELLING ivory products, items that existed prior to the ban ONLY. Every other regulation about usage, import and export is FEDERAL. Again, I have confirmation of this when I went through them for a de minimus letter format...

Cali Bust 1 Cali Bust 2 This is what happens in a lockdown state when you sell ivory within the state. I just wrote appraisals for over 20 cues in a collection that is in California. Technically they have no market within the state, but I put on approx retail values if they were anywhere but...

I have never had a problem with UPS. USPS constantly reroutes, and screws up the destination. To be honest, the issue with USPS is the distribution centers 98% of the time. As far as relative costs, 4x4 boxes are cheaper than the triangles or round tubes. Use pirate ship for UPS mailings, always...

I had a page typed out.. but it doesn't matter. People in pool will distort and reword or change word definition to convince themselves they are in the right. You cannot fix stupid, this is a fact. There is so much incorrect information in this thread it is beyond comprehension. To simplify the...

FTR.. every appeal, every court filing against the ban has lost. I think it's Feds 13 everyone else ZERO. JV

A lot of people in this thread better stock up on the KY for the federal pen.... JV

A CITES pre-Convention certificate can be issued for specimens that were taken from the wild before the species was listed under CITES in order to authorize export or re-export, provided certain criteria are met. For the African elephant, the pre-Convention date is February 26, 1976. For the...

ESA Rule De Minimus Exception: The de minimus exemption applies only to items made from African elephant ivory. The African elephant 4(d) rule provides an exemption from prohibitions on selling or offering for sale in interstate and foreign commerce for certain manufactured or handcrafted items...

WOW.. all I can say... The FEDERAL law prohibits all sale, or purchase, of ivory internationally. If they inspect your box and it has a cue in it, they can test for ivory. They are allowed to use any method they deem necessary to test the ivory. Black light, hot poke, doesn't matter. The other...

Brand New case... Our leather supplier found, in a closet a very old piece of top grain, black lizard print leather. The same style and type of leather that was common to the original Fellini line. Here is an opportunity to own a new case. It is a sharp care, brand new, key included. There...
