I Want To Buy All Cues.......

[cubswin]

I, 8-ball Rat, have fallen in love with the feeling I get when a mailing tube arrives at my doorstep. I'm addicted to the rush...and I'm starting to see my mailman in a rather inappropriate way.............a telltale sign of a problem, I think!!

You've made the first step in admitting it. Just remember its a minute by minute battle that we all have to work through. For some of us its easier as there is a lucky lack of funds, for others it just takes self control.

Our local group meets next to the sexaholics group and have to say we do have higher than normal attendance figures.

Scott....you're all heart, sir.

........I assume the two Hoppe cues are Herceks??

The ebony is a Hercek and the rosewood is a Tascarella.

After the last couple of years, my UPS, FedEx and USPS guys pretty much know me by sight. In fact, the school where my wife works is before my house on their runs and they sometimes leave the shipping tubes with her so they are not sitting at my house!

I really like those guys and gals . . . . not inappropriately . . . . I hope.

No BB's hiding in this picture. But, it might tempt your "other cue" crack habit. This is the current lineup after some changes over the past couple of months. . . .

WHO IS THE MAKER OF THE FOURTH CUE FROM THE RIGHT? IT LOOKS LIKE A BUSHKA DESIGN THAT RICHARD BLACK MADE A RUN OF CUES OUT OF. JUST CURIOUS, I MAY BE INTERESTED.

Marcus, that cue was made by Jim Ingram, out of Oklahoma City, from a very early Hercek blank. Joel inspected the cue, talked to Jim and verified it.

Dave Matlock was its first owner and used it for quite a while. Too bad he didn't leave his stroke with the cue for me.

That collection is just SICK! Now here you are whining because you can't play. Helllllooooo!!! You can't have your cake & eat it too. Give up some of the cues (to me of course) and then you should be able to play better. Heck, you might even be able to beat me!

Timberly <--- jealous of Scott's collection because we have the same tastes in cues.

I think I may have a an old brochure from their first production line. I know I had one, just would need to find it if the wife didn't throw it out. Kinda neat, if I remember it had a violin and compared the cues to a Stradivarius! I could also give you a rough guesstimate of the new cost at that time. You may have all of this already anyway.

Didnt a violin maker by the name of Hoollio Stambolini ( sp? ) make cues with a violin on them? I have seen a cue , from a tourney player around here who plays with what he said was a Stambolini ( sp? ) and that it had a violin on it.


HAS anyone heard of this Guy, Hoolio Stambolini?
