I've got nothing expensive now, but in the early 70's I had two heavyweights. The first was a Balabushka; I paid $100 to a player called Midge in San Jose, played with it for a couple of months, wasn't crazy about it, and sold it for $200. The second was a Level 2 Harvey Martin that I paid $50 for in Bucktooth's pool room in Castro Valley, CA; my favorite cue of all (someone stole it out of my car while I was at a Santana concert at Winterland). The Martin is valued at between $1500-$3500, and I honestly can't remember what the Bushka was. In the San Fran bay area in the 60's and 70's, cues like these were fairly easy to find because EVERYONE wanted a Joss (the first hand-engraved Joss went to Ronnie Allen and it seemed that Mr. Janes and Mr. Stroud were only making cues for pro players) or a GINACUE. Also, Tad cues were getting popular. Funny looking back - the Balabushka was not a big deal, but I paid somebody (Denny Searces I think) $5 just to hit a few balls with his GINACUE (one of the early models) just so I could say I'd played with one - what an awesome cue.
 
Southwest cue

Recently I have been playing with a 94 JF Southwest. I got it from cueaddicts.com. They had it listed for 2750, its a nice cue but for the money I would rather have my Gina or Tad.

My Wayne Holmes cue, for now. Just a hair under a thousand, but hits like a million.

That'll change when I get my Searing....something to the tune of $1950.
 
Faux SouthWest that cost way less than a Real SouthWest. My daily player get rotated about every two weeks, as i have no Safe Queens. If they don't hit well enough to play with, they get sold off....

P.S. Got nothing For Sale at Present....:p

Ditto, until my Skip Weston is complete. That will be just a tad higher ;)

Oh, and did I mention that shortly after V.F. I will be giving Mike Webb a down payment? This is definitely a sickness :D
