I'd locate this guy in Texas, who remains unnamed at this point, a cue collector who happens to have a Balabushka in his collection that was purchased from an unsavory character many moons ago.
The Balabushka is worth about 20- to $25,000 in today's dollars. If I had an extra 50 dimes laying around, I'd go right after that cue stick. Old-school players hit best with old-school sticks. Predator and other assorted shafts enjoyed by today's young guns don't seem to do the trick. Yep, a Balabushka and only THAT one.
