    Sold Original George Balabushka 1960's Mint Condition with 3 Shafts Rare Leather Wrap LOA by Pete Tascarella Serious Buyers Only

    that's not collecting, that's hoarding. he made 1,200 cues? so 180 is 15% of the total. if there are other collectors like this, then i'm guessing half of all the cues are in a few people's hands. is this a private collection, or something people can see or view on the internet?

    Jay, i am seriously interested in buying the cue, or possibly another one in your collection, if any others are for sale.

    Sold Original George Balabushka 1960's Mint Condition with 3 Shafts Rare Leather Wrap LOA by Pete Tascarella Serious Buyers Only

    thanks so much. it's hard to find these sales. i was looking via the usual search engines. i remember these cues going for over 10k for sure, not too long ago. the Newman collection is really cool. to bad there wasn't a pic of him playing with the cue.

    EBAY Viking ID..

    how can this be rare? its mostly 1 inch sections of different coloured wraps. it doesn't even look like it can be used as a cue. this is a joke auction. i've seen nice cues go for crazy prices, but this is extreme by several orders of magnitude. maybe the guy accidentally hit '0' too many...

    Radial shaft becomes loose.

    the joint on my break cue sometimes loosens after a hard break. its got a radial shaft. will try the water/q-tip trick. is there another reason why this might happen? i'm thinking it might be related to vibrations.

    how do you respond to your wife....

    she sometimes threatens to burn my cues. she has no idea how much i spent on them. literally. i did not tell her how much $$$s i spend on anything pool related. if i did, i think it would hasten my demise. i pay cash for just about everything so my spending can not be tracked.

    OC's Calgary out of business?

    i like Leather Pockets on 4thNW and 40 Ave. and they have a deep fryer now, so there's chicken wings (really very good) and several other menu items. also, the owner does a mean tip replacement. does not use a lathe and amazing results. just got a sniper installed and looks perfect.
