1992/1993 Ernie Martinez Showcase Cue.....Help with value?

[shamadam]

Hey all, I was showing this cue off at the SBE a few weeks back trying to
find out who might have made it. Well, Ernie just confirmed it to be one of
his cues that he made back in 1992/1993 while at Showcase billiards. Much
thanks to the AZ'er that helped me out. I really appreciate it. Its a 5/16-14
piloted joint, and has 4 points with 4 veneers. I'd love to get some opinions
on the value of this cue in todays market. It might go up for sale soon.
Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks, Dom.

I'm a huge fan of Ernie Martinez's work. Congratulations on a fine cue and in my opinion a piece of history.

Thanks Kevin, I appreicate it. Still looking for a few more opinions on the
approximate value of the cue, so if you wanna PM me, I'd be more than
willing to go that route. :embarrassed2: Thanks again all.
