I see that you're new here so maybe you aren't aware of this.
If you weren't happy with the wording of your post once submitted, you can always go back and 'edit' it rather than starting a duplicate post.
So much for the formalities, WELCOME TO THE FORUM.
Now, what inspired you to ask your question in this section?
You are aware that this is the 'Ask The Cue-Maker' section, right?
Maybe the 'Cue Gallery' or even the 'Main Forum' would get you the response from the collectors that you seek.
On the off-hand chance that you actually did want the response of a CM, I'd rather SELL an earlier made cue that I still had. It should be a better bargain for the buyer. As far as collectibility, it doesn't matter. A Bushka is a Bushka, generally speaking.
