Update: I feel very silly now for creating this thread, because I just now noticed that it is a newer Meucci (after seeing the picture of the logo). I must have missed that picture before, because I did not notice the logo in the pictures before. I see now that it is not an Originals.

I just seen this Meucci cue on ebay, and I am just very curious if any of the white in the cue might be Ivory?

A lot of the white stuff in the cue appears to be Ivory, but I do not know.

It sure is a beautiful old cue though, from the 70's I am guessing.

Someone is going to get a great deal on that cue, and be very happy I bet.

If meucci cues were made with just a lot of plastic, then why are they worth so much? This cue in question might sell for over $500. I just wonder why the bidding is going so high on the cue.
 
Weren't the first gamblers made with the "Meucci Originals" on the butt? The cue in the picture looks like the logo they used after the original series was over.
 
Logo means it's after 88... The 88 Series were the last ones with Meucci Originals on them as far as I know..... No Ivory and no way I would be paying 450 for it.....

Okay. So I guess it is stuff that was just made to look like ivory . the cue is an originals though, right? It looks very old.

It really does not look like ivory. Although "old", there are earlier versions that are more desirable.

It's a cool cue, but personally there are many I want before I even consider a Meucci Gambler.

it retailed for that +- a few $$$ in the late 80's to early nineties when it was made, does that mean it's worth "so much"?

I just wonder why the bidding is going so high on the cue.

not everything you see on the bay is real, if the bidding is "real" it could be that some ignorant buyers think it's an original from the 70's
 
The thread was bogus to start with. It wasn't an original. People pay WAY too much for cursive Meucci gamblers on Ebay. I am considering buying all I see around and putting them on there. I can get cursives for 200-300 all day.
