Mahalo, yeah I’m really not sure about what is what, I’m just going based on what I remember him sharing with me. My dad was a billiards player unfortunately I didn’t share the same passion. I should’ve asked more questions when he was around.
Definitely worth something to the right collector.
Clearly, from the logo, it's a second generation Gina, sometime after 1988 -- the first generation had Ginacue spelled out one way or the other. It also does appear to have been used a fair amount though the wrap looks to be in pretty good condition. There are folks here than will know more.

a quick search for pool cue appraisors came up with classic cues
seems for $150 you can send him the info and get an appraisal from a cue dealer
i have never used them so i can not speak for the accuracy of the appraisal
i know they have been around a long time
hope this helps

No need to pay for an " appraisal" the cue market for a cue like this is not even close to being set in stone. It is a cue that has a very limited market- why?
1. it would not appeal to 99.99% of current pool players under the age of 50.
2. it is out of reach financially for the vast bulk of the cue buying public.
3. the actual market for cue buyers of this type of cue is shrinking every day, as people 65 to 90 who , by far, are those who actually would know of this famous cue maker of the past , are mostly not buying more cues to add to their collections unless it is a fire sale on the cue.
4. the Reality is - if you want ACTUALLY to sell the cue- post in the for sale section of this site, follow the selling rules, vet your potential buyers as one needs to do on the internet, and start with an asking price of $4500. Be clear in your listing that you will strongly consider best offers.
5. Then just wait to see what offers come your way- refresh the listing often here by bumping it to the top if you do not get any early acceptable offers above a floor that you decide- should be somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000 in my opinion.
6. From about 25 years of doing this, and one who believes in actually selling cues and not just listing cues, my opinion is that ANYWHERE from $3K to $ 4K - I would take the money- but that is just me- others may differ.

I see that you just went ahead and posted this on e bay for $10,000 or make offer- why ask us all here if you are going to do something like that?
Where did you get that $10,000 number from? You are paying e bay 13% to sell it.

I am not a Gina fan. Don't dislike them either. Same for barbells. But this cue is a peach (I keep coming back to the pictures) and if . . . but, ultimately, Mike tells us the rest of the story.

Condolences to you and your family. I remember seeing this thanks to the facebook algorithm earlier this week? Nice to see some other pictures of it.
$10K for that cue is... nuts.
I believe you were correct putting it $3-4K.

I would contact Cornerstone Cues and get an estimate of what they will consign it for, and how much they think they can sell it for. They have Gina Cues for sale at a hefty price now.
I tried contacting them a while back about a couple of cues they had listed. They have some nice Scruggs and early Joss cues listed. Nobody ever responded. Somebody else told me they have had many of the same cues on their site for a really long time. All the same cues I was interested in last year are still listed on their site.
I have no idea who's keeping that site going (is it Bill?), but none of the cues on that site are actually for sale.
Yes he now lowered the price on e bay to $4500 buy it now with no offers being accepted - just a buy it now at 4500 - 13% goes to e bay.
As I said earlier- taking offers on this site would make so much more sense IMO with $4500 as his starting point - doubt that he gets the 4500buy it now on e bay - when you can’t make offers then you just wait out the seller until
They start price dropping.

If no one bites, he could relist it with the make an offer option (unless ebay took that out?)
Correct but now he he paying ebay 13% on the offer he probably would have ended with here at no fee- so maybe giving up $500 or so on the sale And ebay protects buyers now way more than sellers so good luck if some scammer buys it and then starts with phony claims and the tremendous hassle that e bay now inflicts on sellers.
Here you can go Pay Pal F&F or Zelle and be done.
