Just picked up 3 Gus Szamboti's at the DCC
Lost the Ginacues in the trades, it was a tough decision Right or Wrong.
Hope everyone enjoys the pics.

how many Gina cues you have to give up for 3 Gus?
 
The middle cue in the pictures was my friend's playing cue in the early 80's. I know this because the shipping tube that was with the cue @ the DCC had the shipping label with the another guy's name and address who also came from our hometown. He sold the cue to my buddy. It is definitely a small world. Nice cues, Casey.

Very nice cues,i think you made a good deal,but Ernie is still alive and his cues are worth a good deal,when he passes on into the next world his cues will sky rocket for sure.Lets just hope that day doesnt come anytime soon,he is a great artist.

BEST GUESS...top 2 cues 72 to 75, esp. if the IV. jtd. cue is FF. Bottom cue 79 to 82. :)
 
Beautiful Gus cues....I love Gina's but Gus is Gus. Great trade. Thanks for the pics.
 
Oh my..my..my. You made the RIGHT decision. I love Gus Szamboti cues. Simple, elegant, and beautiful. Plus, like land, they aren't making any more of them. Great cues!!!

I agree with you on this because I would have kept the Gina cues also. I know there is a lot of interest in the Gus cues, but you couldn't have gotten those Gina cues out of my hands with a crow bar. They were beautiful. Just my 2 cents.

I agree they were beautiful. It was a very tough decision to make. My final decision was that I could still have Ernie make me a cue and I never owned a Szamboti let alone a Gus. I also have 8 original Gus Shafts and 2 Barry Shafts, all of which are in great condition. I wish it were possible to keep the Gina's and Gus's. Casey
 
Casey, whilst I don't think you are having restless nights about the deal, just from one high end collector to another......you made the right choice.

Casey, being in the same situation, I would have made the deal also. You made the right decision.

Casey,
The Szamboti's are beautiful, you can get a new Gina, I agree with your decision also.
 
Casey, we spoke a little at the DCC when we looked at your Gus. I too think it's the right move. In fact, I have begun putting some Szam's back myself......Sean

Good point Casey, Ernie could remake those Gina cues for you and there aren't any more Gus Szamboti cues. If you've never owned a Szamboti cue and that's what you wanted then you did the right thing.
