Cue auction

[macguy]

I got this interesting email:

Hi there, on June 24, 2006 Sotheby's in New York will be holding an auction of important Sports memorabilia. Included in this sale will be the Frank Paradise pool cue that Willlie Mosconi presented to Mickey Mantle. It is a relatively plain, (early?) Paradise cue made from a Willie Hoppe blank. if you would like to see a photo of the cue feel free to send me a note. I do not own the cue but have been involved in the research and authentication process.

Please spread the word for me. Thank you

That should draw some bucks, sparking the interests of quick enthusiasts and baseball memoribilia collectors as well.

I heard that this was coming up for sale. It's part of a collection of Mantle memorabilia being auctioned off by his family. This cue ought to bring in the big bucks.
