I have been meaning to take some pictures on my Szamboti's and today was the day. I am not the greatest photographer and this 100K limit is a little tough to deal with, but here is the best I could do.

The three on the bottom are Barry's and the rest are Gus's.

I hope you enjoy them, I know I do! :)

Thank you for hosting the pictures! That is much easier than clicking on the links to view them!

I will definitely keep you in mind if I ever sell a Szamboti.

I have only sold one Barry and that was because I was at a pool tournament and I wanted to buy two Balabushka's and didn't have enough money with me.

I have never sold a Gus and hopefully never will, I did trade one for the fancy Barry that I sold though.

A very nice gentleman on AZ bought the Barry and it is in good hands!:)

Thanks everyone for your kind words, I have spent many years putting together my collection and I am like a proud parent!
 
Now that is an awesome collection. My favorite is the propeller cue at the center row. Thank you for sharing!
 
Truly, a beautiful collection and very kind of you to share on the forum.

Thank you
 
!

Absolutely Speechless....Question: How long did it take you to build that collection?
 
You are brutal! To torture us with your Szamboti collection.......
I especially love the Ivory windowed propeller cue. Heck, I love them all.

You have one of the greatest Szamboti collections I have ever seen. Gus and Barry are and have always been two of my favorites and your pictures show why.

Thanks for posting the pics.....I can see why you're the mars man....your collection is like way out of sight!
 
They are some great cues....

I went through our archives and found 4 or 5..

I like the 7th and 8th cues from the left over.... and the birdseye backend cue with the pearl rectangles...

The collection is by far the best that I have ever seen.
Incredible looking cue line-up and great examples of the different accomplishments by Gus.

I am so glad that I had an opportunity to pick up something from your collection and it is by far my most treasured cue.

Thanks again for posting the pictures and I now know that if I am ever in your neck of the country that I will have to try to see your collection in person.

Thanks for posting the pics, Great line-up of cues!
I really like the fact that all of the cues appear to be USED!!!!!!!!!
Rubber bumpers nice and worn, White linen worn,a little smooth, slightly green...I Can"t wait to get a cue Gus Szamboti made...John Wright said Gus tested EVERY CUE He built "IF He didnt like the way it played , sounded, etc, HE WOULD START OVER!
Thanks again for sharing the pics"
