Decal cues are the best

Its Year 2025 and cues should start looking different. Evo Cues look good, fiberglass, 5/16x18, $125 Gemstone and $80 Pirate. Viper's Dia de los Muertos is good. What about Meucci's $1100 Hall of Fame 6 --- is that a decal for the city skyscrapers?

Meucci states there is a skyscraper and a car in the butt. Here's the very small car in the Hall of Fame 6:

At that price, I would expect genuine inlay work as opposed to a decal / sticker. Even the description mentions "intricate ebony-colored inlays."

I'm not into Meucci, but how much would a good condition original be?

Below are some eBay sales of Meucci originals. You can find more information on some of these still on the eBay site. For example, the cue sold on May 3rd is still on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3265628185...d=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Meucci made a sticker cues years ago. When I brought it up, Meucci collectors and fans wanted to set me on fire.

MO-11 was a sticker, and the Gambler was another.

What person in their right mind thinks those cards were inlays? "Overlays" is the word. Decals, stickers, whatever....
 
Yup. "Ebonized" ...they made that up. LOL!

Ebonizing is and was a thing before moooochie used the term. It involves using iron and chemicals to darken woods. Often used on oak. Ebonized wood can be beautiful and takes a bit of work. Using the term for slapping some shite on top of wood is a travesty.

Wow. Ok then, they "stole" the term, or abused it.

I definitely learned something. I'm going to look that up after work.
