If you could vote for one cue maker (not already inducted) that should be inducted to the Cuemakers Hall Of Fame, who would you nominate ? There are soooo many great ones and I know selecting one is difficult... List your reason why as well...
Cue Makers Hall Of Fame-If You Could Vote...
- Thread starter Balabushka_Man
- Start date
Assuming you mean who isn't in either the ACA or ICA HoF...
Gordon Hart
Richard Helmstetter
Correct... Not already inducted into the actual HOF's... All members or makers would be eligible...

Craig Petersen...finest custom maker from that era who's not in there. Several legendary makers today have told me he's one of the best ever.
That suggestion just reminds me that picking just one is too hard... I think Pete T. is another one that will be in there...
Yep... Great builder, love mine, & who knows Balabushka's better than Pete...IMHO.
Although as you said it's soooo hard. Gives folks and idea how hard it must be for the
actual board and members that vote.
I Should Have Listed These Links For This Thread, So Here Ya Go...

Edwin Reyes
Edwin was extremely helpful to other cue builders and one of the few building world class cues without most of the hi-tech equipment in use today. Killed in what was apparently a political assassination in his prime, he still left an impressive body of work behind.
Edwin was a skilled artist who few in cue building could match working with their hands.
My nomination to both halls would be Edwin Reyes.

The omission of Paul Mottey and Paul Dayton in the HOF is.....
....well, appalling.
...and Paul Drexler

I am very suprised Gordon is not in the ICA Hall of Fame. He has been on the ballot three times and got out voted each time.
There are so many great choices and I am sure Gordon and Richard will both get in. But with only one or two a year going in it will take a long long time to see everyones favorite get in.
