I second that for sure....randyg
Thank you, Someone mentioned an auction...what about e-bay? Would that be a place for more eyes to see?
Here is the deal, the cue and case with my name on it is 1 of a kind so the value is in the eye of the beholder.
The US Open George Case is also 1 of a kind...being that I was the only one that won in 1992 and the cue is the one I used in 1990 to win the World Championship with.
Could you imagine if this was golf or tennis????
Not sure how to proceed if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear from you.
Is there a place on E-bay the pool fans go to look for pool cues and cases like this? Retired cues and cases not for the purpose of shooting with more as a collector of a Pool Champ?
Cool line...I had to think about it for a second....ever drew a bead...cool...and Thank you
Thanks again

Not that I'm aware of, Robin. Most of that stuff just gets pretty much lumped together. Autographed things would probably go in with Autographs but cues and cases go in the Billiards section, I think.
Here is a picture of Robin's classic George case. Looks to be in great shape. Note the hand engraving on the top. This piece is highly collectable and obviously one of a kind.
When Louie Roberts' George case and Meucci cue were sold, bids went over $3000 as I recall. Robin was even more dominant on the women's side of pool. I'll post the cue she won the national championship with next.

Thank you
I did have a fun career
Richard Helmstetter's finest! Robin used this cue to beat the world's best. It is signed by Helmstetter. Some pros use many cues over their careers. Robin played many years with this one, and refused free cues, including one from a from Hall of Fame builder, because this Helmstetter cue played so well for her. She passed on the sponsor cues out of loyalty to the Helmstetter she bought. That says a lot about the player and the cue IMO.

Richard Black offered to make me a cue...it was very nice...but at the point in my career what I really needed was a sponsor when I told him the cue I was playing with and LOVED he said Dick was a very good friend of his and he called Dick on my behalf...thus the second cue Dick made me he put my name on and sponsored me for many years. Without Richard making that call and Dick Helmstetter this thread would not be going on...players need help and Dick did above and beyond for me.
Thank you everyone for all your input, it helps.
I bet Drake (my son) will have a few guitars too one day...I will tell him to hang onto them too. He is in the studio recording I love finding things like this.
