Ginacue Value?

[gambler67]

i purchased this Ginacue which i guess is from the late 60's to early 1970's and purchased it with the seller saying the cue rolled perfect together and apart, when i got the cue it didn't roll terrible but you coukd see the cue was so warped that the joint of the butt never touched the table but is universally warped so the cue doesn't roll terrible together, anyway the question is how much the fact that the cue is warped affects the value considering it is a vintage Ginacue? I'm not sure if this is a one of a kind cue or not it is confusing how it is written in the blue book of pool 3rd edition, the cue looks like it has been recently refinished except the wrap was not redone for whatever reason, in the third edition blue book it says in 100% condition $3250 and in 70% it says $2,000 bare in mind the 3rd edition was put out a long time ago, the shafts roll flat on both ends but look a little funky on the side view they both have natural material ferrules, it says level 3 "Ginacue Titlist" in the third edition of the blue book of pool
couldn't figure how to put video here but the video of the cue rolling is this

You need to lay that butt flat on a pool table then use the light behind it.

i do not know what kind of taper he uses on the butt section, but some cue makers use a taper where the joint never touches the table.

did it on a pool table with the light behind and it was the same just didn't have a picture of that, will try to put a video on here of how it rolls if i can figure it out , the cue has been in Florida most recent and i know there is alot of humidity there

the warp seems to only be in the middle part of the forearm on to the joint

You might get a more accurate answer asking someone who sells Gina Cues.

I know
But it's such a hard question to answer without knowing Ernies market. I figure someone who deals with his Cues might be more accurate for you.
To most of us, warped is warped. No matter who made it or when.

Are you sure you are talking warp here, and not just a taper that leaves a gap between the cue and table? If the latter I'd expect the gap to stay the same in all positions. If the former the gap should change as you roll.

well the joint never touches and the butt rolls decent with both shafts but on the side view it appears to be a warp, on other forums they say Gina cues are not supposed to do that and another person said maybe the wrap causing it? anyway if you want to see the roll type ginacue warp in youtube and it should bring up the butt rolling, i couldn't figure how to add video on this forum
