Please send me a copy of the pictures and prices also...cueball1950@nycap.rr.com...thanx......mike
 
All pictures have been emailed out to everyone who has posted. If anyone has any further questions on any of the specific cues they received info on, please feel free to ask.

The prices I have given are asking prices, if there is something that really grabs you, but is out of your price range, feel free to make an offer - the worst I can say in no. This is not a desperation sale, so I am going to stay pretty true to the asking prices, but these cues have been with my family for 10-20 years and it's just time for other collectors to have the opportunity to enjoy these wonderful cues by some of the best.

On another note....
jeremiahcai, a lot of the emails I sent you got bounced back because you are over your email inbox limit.

Thanks.

I only was able to send about 1/2 of the cue pictures. The rest were bounced back due to your mailbox being full. Let me know when you have cleared some of it out and I will send the rest.

Thanks.

Thank you... it is a very special cue. Neat story behind it. The original owner of the cue was friends with Pete Margo and asked Pete if he could help him get a cue from George Balabushka quicker than waiting on the full list.

So this is the cue George made for him, but it only came with 1 shaft. After having the cue for a little bit (weeks, months - I'm not sure) the guy decided he wanted a 2nd shaft for the cue and when he went back to get it made, George had already passed away.

We acquired the cue from this original owner because this person was in a motorcycle accident and was an avid motorcycle lover. So, upset he wrecked his bike, he decided to sell his Bushka and buy a new motorcycle with the money.

Just a little history behind it.
