Here is one out of my collection that I’m going to make available.
A beautiful ebony Hoppe with black,orange,green and white veneers into a figured maple nose. The cue is perfect, free from any dings or marks. It has a 3/8-10 flat faced ivory joint with 2 ivory ferruled shafts at 12.80mm and 12.75mm with original Moori medium tips. Everything straight. The cue weighs 19 oz on the head with both shafts. 15 oz butt and 4.0 oz shafts. All white inlays are ivory. The cue has been very lightly played. Here is your chance to own a newer Hercek with a killer inlay pattern.

$5850 shipped firm

Since this is one from your collection
it creates in me a desire to see the rest of your cues

i have long admired the ones you posted on here for sale including this beautiful cue

I guess I am wrong in assuming Hercek is retired or retiring


I remember talking with him before he got into cue building,
it is hard to see guys that just get started calling it quits

Barry is coming to an end as well

It is good to have pieces of their art to hold and remember them
and to remember friendships

this cue is very nice,whoever gets it will be getting something to treasure and I bet you will regret selling it before many moons have passed

Joel has a lot of orders that he is trying to complete and not retiring any time soon...and the rumor that Barry is going to retire has been floated for a few years now. I recall looking at the Super Billiard Expo show vendor list for this year and noticed that Barry will have his own both (next to little Kenny's)...that doesn't look like someone who is about to retire.
