ICCS - Denver 2015 - Pics

From the pictures the Black Boar tops everything at the show in my opinion who won the show?

Nobody "wins the show". There is an award for the best new cue of the year by the exhibiting cuemakers called the Collectors Choice Award, won by Josh Treadway. There is a form of People's Choice award on Saturday called the Grand Collection Award. Ken Kerner won this award with a Black Boar he owns.

Oh neat thanks for the info, I was not sure how that worked, congrats to both cue makers on a job well done with their first place win in their respective class this year. Great stuff, Tony's work is hard to beat
 
In the Kerner collection on the first page,

Do my eyes deceive me, or is the fifth cue standing up Mosconi's second Balabushka, which was supposedly never played by him?

The one thing making me doubt my own eyes is the dots around the MOP diamonds in the points. From the one low resolution pic I have of this cue, I can't see any dots. Then again, this is so close. It would be interesting to know.

All the best, and great displays, congratulations to Will Prout and everyone.

Black's silver/inlaid cue (2nd from right in the rack) is downright magical.
It's a special hybrid of light saber, magic wand and pool cue all in one.

Ken brought an outstanding array of cues which included cues once owned by The Miz.
