Say what?? You promise me ALL your Scruggs cues!! Save the rest of your Scruggs cues for me and substitute one of your James White cue in its place. Please from now on Uncle Ted check with me first before you sell any more cues so I can give you my blessing.
My suggestion is to do it now, Just remember those who died on 9/11 expected to return home when they left for work that day. You never know when your ticket will expire.
I think I might leave mine to Bill Stroud.
At least the real valuable ones.

My Dad wanted to be buried with his cue, a deck of cards, a pack of Lucky Strike's, and a bottle of Canadian Club...which I put in his coffin. His side of the family didn't like it much. None of them drank, smoked, gambled, and probably always had sex on Sat night missionary style. Johnnyt
My Collection Goes To My Kids
Each of my cues has a file with pertinent documentation about how I acquired the cue, proof of purchase, correspondence with the former cue owner, Blue Book of Cues references and my own thoughts about cue value and likely appreciation in future years. My cue collection, including the new one being made, will not have a likely value greater than $11-12k and including my six leather cue cases, perhaps another $1600.
My pool cues alone are not going to make my children rich but after I reach room temperature, I betcha the value of my cues won't have gone down. In fact, I'm believe my collection will go up 35-40% within 10 years from now. Meanwhile, my children still get to keep, or sell, something that had very special importance for me and the inherent residual value of my cues remains relatively strong as opposed to a mutual fund or stock that might be up or down from where I bought it 10 yrs from now.

Hey old buddy, how you been? We need to get together more often......is that an old Master stroke in your avatar???
cuebuddy>will change his avatar to help remind Ted:wink:
That is my current plan too.
I will make this prediction now...that the collector cue resale "market" will almost totally collapse in the next decide...as this generation of collectors gets older and out of the market, (and may of their cues indeed go up for sale), and as more and more high-end collectable cues are coming into the market all the time anyway...anything but the *most* desirable collector cues are going to be difficult to sell for anything like what was paid for them...now is the time to sell, it you want to cash in on most collectable cues...the most desirable 1% (or less) of the collector cues will always hold their value and continue to grow in value...the rest will just wither away, value wise, in a box somewhere after we are gone....
No Heirs
I have no heirs which would be the recipients of my eventual demise. Perhaps the BCA will find the long awaited Hall of Fame and Museum as an actual building instead of a storage room like they've had for 50 years. I would gladly donate them.
Should that not happen, I will have to dispose of them in some incredibly ridiculous flamboyant manner,lol. My Godson, from my youngest brother, doesn't play pool. I have already given him my entire gun collection, so he's happy.
This is a tough situation. Have to think about it.

Refreshing
OK...sorry...I'll change it then...every single cue that you ever touched, collected and treasured, will be lovingly passed on as a remembrance of your life and your love for pool...and every time someone touches that special Tascarella you paid 4k for, (or maybe even that ivory laden 2k Verl Horn), it won't be about the money at all...it'll be about remembering the really special and wonderful person that you were and how you made life on this planet better, and were able to express yourself through those simple yet elegant sticks of wood that you lovingly collected...(I hope that's better now)....
What a bummer:frown:
It is an old Master Stroke.
I was just messing around with some old cues one last time before I croak.
coffin
Coffin. I have never seen a coffin in real life. I always use caskets
Canadian Club. How big of a bottle , and where did you bury him

Well for Hells sake, I have planted people with money, whiskey, guns, dolls , knifes, fishing polls. books, pictures, playboy hustler and other porn, fire extinguishers, beer all kinds of things.
I planted a guy with the shotgun he used to blow his own head off with
I had one funeral service where they wanted to shoot the guys horse and bury it with the cowboy.
As part of the funeral service .
You would not believed the look on there face when I said no you cant shoot the horse.:help:
Instead they let the horse go, Well it was pretty muddy, and the horse almost got stuck in someone else grave . .:thumbup:
But I have never planted anyone with a pool cue before. Where do you want the service done. Billy Bobs Hill Billy Pool Emporium .:killingme:
We could cut up a gold crown and make into a casket for too.
Looks like we got a good plan for your funeral service, now all we need is for you to kick the bucket,
And don't worry I have never had any of my customers complain.

Damn that's Funny!
