I had been shopping for a nice leather cue case for my new Mezz cue. I wanted a nice, plain leather case, but couldn't really find what I was looking for at a price I could afford. So, I bought a 2X4 Mezz case for over $250 and the case is made of plastic. It's a nice case as plastic cases go but man, that is a lot of money for a plastic cue case. The prices are really out of control. When I get another $250, I'm going to buy an hour on a psychiatrist's couch. I really need to get my head examined for spending that much money on a plastic cue case.
