CUE IS SOLD. Thanks for your interest. Please read this ad carefully before saying "you will take it" and then change your mind because you noticed what I have stated in the ad. PRICE DROP: $275 shipped, plus it has a new Talisman Medium tip (not brand new as I have have used the cue since it was put on. The tip in the picture is the old tip. Hello. I have for sale a cue made by Ernie Martinez in the early 90's. I think it would be considered a Showcase cue. It is not marked, but I sent pictures to Ernie and he verified over the phone that he made the cue. I do not know the woods used. The points are very tall, they are about 1/2" shy of the joint ring. The shaft is 3.4oz and is around 12.5mm at the tip and has a very slight taper roll. I do not consider it warped as it rolls smooth, but you can see a slight variance in light when rolled. The butt looks like it was drilled for a weight bolt, but it does not have one and there is no screw to hold the bumper on, but it stays on. The butt weighs 15.65oz and there is a very slight lift at the joint. I can slide 5 sheets of paper under the joint. The joint is 5/16X14. NEW Price is $275 shipped in the United States only.

Did EM say this was made at Showcase? Odd joint for an early 90's...

Also, is that a chip in the finish of the shaft joint collar??

Ernie just said he made the cue in the early 90's. He did not bring up Showcase, I just thought it could be a possibilty that he made it then, hence the question mark. As for the shaft it is not a chip, but what looks like finish lifting. There are chips in the finish at the very bottom of the cue. As with most cues this old, it could use a refinish, but other than those couple issues I think the cue looks pretty good for its age.
 
I'm sure that the cue is a Showcase cue made by Ernie Martinez
The rings and the bumper are correct, and Ernie did make some steel jointed cues when he was at Showcase.
I have a few similar Ernie Martinez cues that were made at Showcase.
 
I have one of his stainless jointed sneakies from this era made for Showcase. Plays good
 
Price drop

Hello. Just seeing if there is any interest in this cue at $375 shipped?
 
Just bringing this back around. I was going to shoot with this in Vegas in July so I had a new Talisman medium tip put on, but I decided to use a different cue. So it has a new tip on it for the same price.
 
BUMP after months and reminder. Also new price of $275 shipped. Lets get it sold! I have used this stick a little since I had the tip put on, so it is not a brand new tip any longer.

I added more pictures of the cue throughout my posts to prevent unnecessary bumping. Hopefully they are better than the first ones. One post with 3 pictures of the joint I am trying to show the slight lift at the joint I mentioned.
