They may not havemade collectible cues,but they certainly did something very important

The ICA HoF includes all of the cuemakers who you mentioned. I am impressed at that organization’s consideration for cuemakers who put affordable, high quality cues in the hands of everyday players.

Cant go wrong with Josh. He makes an awesome cue and his excitement for what he does is amazing. He is making me a cue with some design and construction elements that are really unique, including a completely new joint type.
Wow. I just saw this for the 1st time.
I had forgotten who I sent the pictures to and where to look.
Thank you pt109
That couldn't be further from the truth

Fifty or sixty years ago, how many great builders were there? 10? Today? Fifty or sixty years ago, a player bought a cue and used it. Today, how many of you are sitting on how many cues because of their monetary value? Demand has kept up with production created by the explosion of cue makers only because of the collecting/investing that is being done by pool players. Do any of y'all believe that the outside world has turned to pool cues as an additional investment vehicle? If the answers are as I perceive, as the number of pool players decreases, the pool cue investment bubble will eventually burst. Better pray for a good movie.

Posted as a reminder that not everything one reads on the net is a valid opinion...
just an opinion. Any and everybody is entitled to an opinion.
My response was directly about Jackpot cues
I remember seeing a Libra back in the day I would love to have.
This is spot on. It's really next to impossible to pick which of something being made today will be considered an iconic and sought after collectable in future decades. Often when cruising car guy sites, I can find 10-15 year old cars with extremely low miles being offered for $ thousands off their original sticker price...usually around 30-35% off sticker. These are the result of somebody gambling that a car will become a prized collectable.
Probably many of these can become a great driver for someone who couldn't afford one new, but wanted one when they were new.
My advice? Neither cars or cues should be considered investments. Buy what you like and care for them as you wish, but never consider them investments.
But if you want a good return on your money after 30-40 years? The mutual fund...hands down!
