I am curious about the history of a joss cue i own from the early 80s. I know Nick Varner owned it as Dan Janes made it for him along with a few others in a special line. If anyone can put me in touch with Nick i would really appreciate it, but i dont want to bother him either. Just want to shed some light on the history of the cue.
history on joss made for nick varner
- Thread starter fluedoc
- Start date
In the early 80’s, joss made a special set of 5 cues for nick-they were sold at his pro shop at rack and cue in oboro-i owned two of them a njv 2 and a njv3-the latter had his initials finely crafted in the butt-I gad a Polaroid years ago showing all 5 but sent it to the buyer of the cues I sold to him
this one has joss for nick varner in white small letters just below the wrap.

This might be a way to contact him https://nickvarner.com/
you asked this the other day in a different thread. they were made for nick to sell. i doubt nick knows the history of each cue. he got em and sold em. may have used one, maybe not. Nick is a super nice guy and would probably happily fill you in if he can.

I think you are hoping you have a cue thats worth a lot of money.
Probably not.
Probably not.
Saw the PM you sent to me, OP.
You're right.....I had one like yours, a long time ago. Got it refinished and rewrapped by Scot, at Proficient Billiards.
Came back perfect, and as measureman states above...it's not a gold mine cue.
Likely worth about $450-$600, if it's pristine. Some of the value will depend on straightness, shaft diameter, etc.
They're really nice cues. Always have liked Joss.

AZB members will tell you what the real world will pay for it.
LOL,and just who might that be?
I think again you are trying to convince yourself that you have something really special here.
We on AZB have seen this scenario many times.
I am not trying to sell it...just get info on history...i have had it 40 years....
