Balabushka's business card reminds us of something that is often forgotten. George was, at first, known as a shaftmaker more than as a cuemaker. Of course, time would change that.
George was a character for sure. Pete Margo once told me the story of how George called him, in about 1972, on the phone at almost 1:00 AM. George said "Pete, you need to come by my place, I made you a cue." Pete's reply was "I didn't order one and do you realize what time it is?" George knew all that, but Margo was always one of his favorites, and he made one for Pete as a present. He just couldn't wait to show it to Pete.

Interesting Patrick that George showed an image of his cue joint. What a nice collection.
That's not his joint, it's a Willie Hoppe Pro
Very nice, thanks
You have a couple of super cool cards there. That Petersen is amazing
I'd love to have that Verl Horn card!
That Balabushka reminds me of when I was kid. The first 2 numbers were always referred to as letters and had names.
I still remember my first home number, started with KE, stood for Kenwood.
Weird how we remember some of these old things.
Pretty neat thread. The only business card I got was from Tim Scruggs when he worked with Dan Janes at Joss. This was 1976.
Thought I'd show you the back of the card. Paid in full, right off the bat. How often do you see that? That was back in the day when a deal was done on a handshake. The price will make you envious too.
This cue became one of the few six point veneered mid 70s Joss Cues.
All the best,
WW

Hi,
Would you happen to have any extra Tim Scruggs business cards with the TS logo you would be willing to sell? Let me know. Thank you...
He was also quite dapper. I have a photo of him in a game, great suit on. I'll post it, definitely not a common photo
Not only was Pete Margo dapper, but they all tended to be, back in that era of pool. Here's something to reminisce over.
All the best,
WW

why did you throw them all away?
