Bert made great cues! I would tell your friend to hold onto the cue unless he is in a money crunch. Bert no longer makes cues and the last I heard he is in bad health. If you could post some pictures on here it would help to get a quote, but be careful some will try to make a good deal for themselves. Their are a few cue makers and collectors on here that will make an legitimate offer. But as I said I would hold on to it and go to one of the big trade shows and try and sell it there!

I'm still searching for one of Bert's Billiard cues
$5k for a early Schrager is not completely out of line. He used lots of ivory and used it well.
Chris, not to make light joke of Mr Schrager's passing but doesn't condition #1 (pass away) automatically cover condition #2 (retired from cue making)?

Bert got real sick and went into a Convalescent Hospital in 2006. He stopped making cues just prior to that. He rehabbed himsef, got out of the hospital and started making cues again.
His health continued to degrade over the last 4-5 years.
He will be missed!!

Not really. George Balabushka continued to make cues long after his passing. In fact, he became much more productive once dead.

Ps. No, I meant he had already retired from cue making before passing away.
