Question for dealers

IMO it does add some to the value to the cue, but it's always best to have documentation. Let's face it, it's not much for a pro player to get a cue(s) as 'sponsorship' by cuemakers...some of these with the intent of them being resold. Those don't add a whole lot IMO, but perhaps some, especially if it's a cuemaker who's currently in high demand.

If it is a cue however that a pro player played with (that's verifiable or documentable), the bigger the name, the more $$ it might add to the value. Obviously cues that were made for or played by the LEGENDS of the game would command the biggest $$, vs the current players or up-and-coming players.

There's no real guide that drives whatever added value it might have....lot of it depends on the looks of the cue, maker, condition, etc., etc......and just as anything else on the secondary market, the perceived value is determined by what something will actually sell for.
