John your cue might retain a little bump mojo and be worth something extra to the buyer.
What I was saying is a cue bought to be played with is not worth a lot more if a name player owned it versus a cue bought to be collected and admired and not used or played only infrequently. I doubt anybody would shoot pool with the Mosconis 526 cue or play baseball with Roger Maris 61 ball or bat those are higher value collector items.
Items such as your playing cue that Lomax just made for you is real nice and I am sure that people would want to buy it just because you played with it but how much more is it worth and will that value still be there when that guy who buys the Lomax from you, John B and played with it for a year or two goes to sell it, will that cue that used to be owned by John B still have extra value over similiar quality Lomax cues. I am not sure the extra value will be there for that cue.
So for playing cues I think some but not a ton more value for cues to be collected.
