Chuck Starkey

[Pelican]

I am liquidating my collection. I have two of Chuck's cues. Bought them so long ago I don't even recall what I paid for them. I know he passed last year. Has anyone seen any of his cues for sale? Just trying to get an idea of fair market value. Many thanks for the time of anyone that can help.

Didn't know he had passed.

Bought one from him in 2010 for $500. Nice basic cue with a horn handle.

Depends on the cue … my experience, $300-$1k. However, that was a bit ago.

His wood pin or more standard pin?

I had one of his wood pin cues for a while, nice hitting cue.

I wasn't aware of Chuck having passed away either. I thought I'd seen him posting in the last few months on facebook.

RIP, Chuck. Always wanted to try one of his wood big pins. Never pulled the trigger, regrets.

@desi2960 was his AZ name. I hadn't heard that either. Hopefully a rumor. Hasn't been on here since2022

Hope he's alive and well, I have one of his big wood pin cues. Have had several in the past. The play great.

A "collector of bannana stickers" gets mentioned but nothing pool related. Funny how some obits get so poorly written.

When I bought a cue from him he was in Warsaw, Missouri.

I managed to get hold of him through ebay about 3 years ago. For another shaft. He said he was retiring.
And selling off his remaining cues. And that was it. I think he said, he was 80 at the time.

Definitely not him in the obituary. I have a wood pin titlist conversion that he did, with the no ferrule shaft. Nice cue.
