Educate Me on the Runde Schon's- ??

I've decided I want to start collecting these and specialize somewhat on these particular cues. It seems like everyone is interested and respects the work from this team and era ??

What I need is some help and direction- Please tell me if there's people that might share, or books that I could read. I already know this will be no easy task and it will take time, but I'm committed to these sticks and I want to learn about and collect them- Obviously, I'm not the only one that can see the beauty and collectibility of this art form.

Short version: sharp points/very good, maple dashes/great, multi colored
veneers/awesome, yellowed micarta ferrules/desirable.
See one for sale/buy one. Lesson over.

I noticed that too. Definitely there's something wrong with the joint. Well; no original shaft, repaired badly and for someone other than Schon. Nobody knows what the original problem was... :nono:
 
THe 1/2 inch the cue is short by is also a clue. Has the forarm been cracked, shortened, then, repaired? That Ebay cue is in bad condition and would cost the selling price to make right again with a shaft that matches.
 
I agree SC02GTP, With the cue on ebay, the listing states 58-1/2 inches long. I have received a cue like this once as the photo's I was sent were not nearly this good. The joint on the cue I received looked like this, the joint was re set deeper into the cue. I sent the cue to Mike Erwin and he added piece into the forearm and stretched it to a normal length cue. Turned out very well and I listed the cue with all the before and after photo's and the cue sold well and has performed well for the buyer. The cue I had was chopped about a inch and a half. This cue would make a great break cue with the right shaft on it. Just my opinion.

Yes,Bob Runde is alive and well.You can get with him and order exactly what you want.If you want the vintage "cool factor" then buy an R series Schon that Bob made when he owned Schon.They usually play very well.Just my 2 cents.
