I recover and move pool tables in southern New York State. Have a customer that was given a cue as a gift at a bar in New York City about 20 years ago. Posting pics to get an idea what this George balabushka might be worth. I know cues a little bit but not enough to now about this cue. Except that his cues are some of the most sought after cues out there. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If the cue is new to the market, I'd be hesitant about posting pictures until you have a price and are ready to sell.

How do you know it's a Balabushka, it's not "signed," is it?

20 years ago, that would have been a very, very expensive gift.

Trying to add pics but too stupid to figure it out I guess. Will add pics later when I'm done with the table.

Another member asked you a question:

Is the cue "signed"?

Does it have the name "George Balabushka" written on the cue?

It does have George balabushka signature on it. I'm really sorry guys I'm in the middle of recovering the table at the moment. I will try to get pics posted later today. It appears to be chrome steel joint on the forearm with a brass insert in the shaft.. 4 point veneer.
