Here is my new Tascarella cue (1 of 1) I asked to be made a while back and just got it in January.This cue is made from a lot of original Balabushka parts that Pete had.This cue is an exact duplicate of Willie Mosconis famous Balabushka cue that sold for $90,000.I think Pete and Pete Jr got it exactly right.

The butt of the cue is 100% perfect with not a scratch anywhere One shaft unchalked .I played about 15 hours with 1 shaft (ran a 161 with) and the other 2 shafts about 1-2 hours each.

Custom Joint and shaft protectors for all pieces will be included.


butt is 29 inches and shafts 29 inches
butt weighs 15.6
1 shaft at 3.7 oz
3 shafts at 4.0 oz each
all shafts right at 13mm

Price to be private and by Pm only and NO TRADES

*** SOLD PENDING PYMT ***

Original Balaubushka pics

Sir -

THAT 'TASCARELLA / BALAUSHKA TRIBUTE IS FANTASTIC!

Glad you had this done - - - - and I'm sure the Tascarellas REALLY got into BECOMING GEORGE while they were making it!!!

I attended the auction at the National Italian American Sports Hall Of Fame on May 14th, 2011 and witnessed the UNBELIEVABLE sale of that cue.

I also took a few pictures of the items that went for auction that day, INCLUDING "THE CUE"!

After the Auctioneer fees and City of Chicago sales tax, the total came to a little OVER $102,000.00!!!

A couple of interested LIVE bidders, in the audience, increased their bottom line by significant amounts, but the increases were STILL was NOT HIGH ENOUGH to outbid the 'ANONYMOUS" phone bidder. . . . .

Enjoy these pictures. . . . .maybe they will help you in your sale. . . . .

Thanks for the pictures.When the Mosconi/Bushka cue was on display in Valley Forge I was lucky enough to not only see it but the Lady in charge let me hold it and I was excited to hold the cue of the greatest 14.1 player of all time.
