Couldn't resist this cue on Ebay since I wanted to pick up a few of George's cues. I spoke with the guy that had it authenticated in 2004 and he was the owner of Tech Billiards in New York many years ago and bought the cue from his friend who bought it new from George. He had Pete refinish the butt in early 1980 and played maybe 10 games of pool with it over the next 25 years of his ownwership and then sold it and now it has wound up with me. It is nice to know the history of a cue like this especially when there are so mant fakes out there. This cue looks fantastic and is dead straight together and apart with the original shafts, Enjoy

This is a beautiful cue and Randy was nice enough to bring it by my shop yesterday, and while the pictures are great they really don't do this any Justis. The balance and feel of this is fantastic, cues like this make me wish I could afford to be a buyer with the market like it is today, there are so many rare cues coming out the wood work because of the economy.

Randy your a lucky fellow, and thanks for stopping by it is always a pleasure.

Respectfully.
 
Wow...very very nice! Someday I would love to see and hit with a Bushka just to say I have. But right now I am looking forward to my Wayne coming to me this next week. I'll have to hop on down to FSB sometime soon and shoot some pool with you guys.

Hi Craiag it is always good to come by and see you, since you have a great amount of knowledge with all cues. I was happy to hear your praise of it being the real deal once you looked at it very closely. I was afraid I might hear I got a great copy, but not the case here. I feel I have a great start on a pristene entry level Balabushka and will keep my eye out for a couple more. Thanks

Hey cueball
I would love to meet you at craig's place. I have made some great friends such as poolrod through the forum and at craig's place. I would love to set up a little game with the local boys and especially Rod and make him dig into his pockets. If I know you are coming down I will bring the stick over and you can spank a few balls with it as I do hit with ALL my cues or I don't keep them. Randy
