Def not original Bushka

If it helps, the cue you have is licensed by Adam (production cue) versus made by George Balabushka .

webassisin...There's your first clue...Balabushka died in December, 1975...so obviously your cue is not an original.

The guy that had it before told me it was made back in the 90's.

The cue was made at the Adams factory by a guy named George Balabushka, no relation to the legendary cue maker.

It's worth tens of thousands.

Freddie <~~~ of pennies

P.s. and it really shouldn't be a bad cue at all to play with

I wouldn't listen to any of these guys. I think its worth as much as it hits, which is in all likely hood is a ton. They all want to get it on the cheap.

I'd be careful if I was you.

Probably somewhere around $300 if the cue is straight. You can check the auction prices on e-bay for similar George Balabushka GB cues.

Here's an example of an auction price for example:

You should be able to take about 25% off the MSRP listed there from a dealer, and a used one would have lost some value, these are not collectible cues that raise in value over the years.

As an aside to this, that chalk they have is good. If you want something with a replica Balabushaka signature for cheap, get the chalk.
