Mike Cochran hated Sneakie Petes. He built only two of thtem. They were both built for different friends of the shop and sold for medical expenses. I sold the only radial pin Sneakie that had a TS logo to Colin Predith and told him to never sell it.
After he sold it he wished he never did. It was built by Mike Cochran and donated and sold on ebay for $900. Mike couldn't believe it. I should have never sold it.
This Cue is the only TS sneakie that built by Mike Cochran. It too was donated and sold. Proceeds used for medical expenses.
All TS sneakies by the way had solid collars because Jeff Wolf didn't know how to do rings. Mike and Tim were too buisy to care about the sneakies and left Jeff with them. He did a great job.
I do have a rare TS sneakie with Tim's rings. These Cues are the exceptions to the solid rings.
If your sneakie has rings it has been more likely than not altered.
Mike was distracted when he was shooting the logo into the bottom of this thing and Jeff said to Mike well I guess that one is going to the saw. Mike said basicly screw that I built this for free and I am not building another free.
It is the good Karma Cue. It is also one of the only Cues I have been looking for for a long time.
The last picture is the two rare birds.
Thank you big Tony. I will take care of you!
Kind of fitting it showed up Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas,
Nick Serdula

Hey

I always love to see any and all cues, especially Timmy and Mikes. But this whole story, does nothing less than bash Tim and Mikes image as great cue makers. this kind of details, which I doubt is true in any way, is just UN necessary.

Tell us more.

I had a TS sp I go from a dealer at the DCC when it was at the executive, it had a ring at the joint and a different buttcap than I had ever seen....it was a fake?
 
I knew all about who built this Cue. Mike told me.

Knew it long ago. Whenever I would think about buying the thing Michael would say Nick just let me build you something a little nicer. I didn't want the world to know about this very nice story about Tim and Mike's generousity until I owned the Cue.. Would you.
When I say keeper or player for life those are phrases I do not just spout
My Cochran 8 point is my player for life just as I said it would be years ago and everyone bet against it..
Don't look for this Cue to be sold.
Merry Christmas all to you and yours,

It may not be for sale, but I'm sure it can be bought.. :rolleyes:
 
Merry Christmas Mia

Nicky-
You're idiotic stories are priceless.
Nice sneaky.

You are half right for once! Feels good I bet. It is all about the story to any collector. If the shop was open much longer Mike was planning on dedicating a page to Jeff and his work with the shop. He felt Jeff deserved credit for his work. Jeff was great to talk to. We had a lot of laughs over the years. He answered the phone a lot. I remember when he told me he was building me a sneakie years ago. It was purpleheart. Tim and Mike wanted everyone to know about Jeff. They had no shot of replacing him when he decided to find another job. He did it because he was starting a family and needed to find something with benefits. I wish Jeff the best.
Merry Christmas everybody,

Congrats on a pretty cue buddy. You must be proud.

For the record, I don't doubt that its "all about the story to any collector". I just doubt about 95% of your stories. That's all.

Merry Christmas.

I have a feeling that if you weren't 6 foot 5 and 300 pound X MMA Knock Out Artist it would be your player Cue and might have never been sold. Freak player! Beat The Golden Arm with it yesterday playing one hole. Golden Arm is tough one hole action.
Thanks for letting me get the Cue even after telling you about the good Karma build by Mike. Wouldn't have felt good about buying the Cue without telling it's story to the seller.
And the topper for me is it was delivered Christmas Eve!
Thank you for a monster solid hitting and playing Cue.
Merry Christmas To you Big Tony!

Have to get to K-Mart. 400 Oak Street.
 
You so silly

Money can buy somethings. Owning one of the two sneakies Mike Cochran ever built and rembering the times we talked about this nothing of a sneakie gives it a value to me that is beyond money.
Happy Holidays to everyone even Steve.

Nice stick.

Happy Holidays, Nick.

Mark <----being nice, since it's the season for such things
 
Glad you got the cue Nick, I can tell it means a lot to you. I bet it hits like a hammer.

Congrats, Jerry
