Hiya guys,

Was hoping I could celebrate my 900th post on here by asking a favor!!! (since we're all so close, now! :) )

I was hoping that somebody going to the DCC would be willing to take a look around and see who may be selling one of the older model Black Boars. I don't have an exact model in mind....other than I am NOT looking for the 4 pointer with veneers and 2 sets of concentric circles in the sleeve (already have one....link is below in my signature block).

A basic 4 pointer, with or without veneers, would be awesome. Same goes for a 4 pointer, no veneers, with some inlays and such. I believe these cues were made between 1988 and 1996 time-frame.

If anybody is going, and happens to see one that looks pretty good, any info you'd be willing to send my way would be great. Phone number or e-mail address of the seller would be perfect!

Thanks, in advance, to anybody that's willing to hook me up!

Happy Saturday,

Mark

Good deal, Guy. Thanks!!!

I'm not too proud to request help from multiple folks.....how else can I be expected to corner the market on stateside Black Boars?? :) :)

Hey...a guy can dream, can't he??

I aim to be the Fast N Loose of the Black Boar world!

Thanks!! I'm gonna need it.

If I calculated correctly.....I only need $348,857.15 to match his number and aesthetical level.

No problem....I've got an AMEX card!! :)
 
BUMP IT UP, YA'LL.

For anybody heading out to the DCC....please keep me in the back of your head.

I'm interested in seeing if there are some nice older style Black Boars out there (old boar's head logo).

I'd like to try to find a nice, plain 6 pointer.....and maybe a plain 4 pointer with or without veneers.

Tax return season is coming up...and I've got some hustle behind the muscle.

Jaime and Guy - I'll reach out and touch ya right after the New Year and see if ya'll might be able to come up with anything.

Thanks ya'll.

I spoke to Tony last year and he noted the 6/8 pointers are much better constructed than the 4 pointers...he no longer makes 4 point cues for a variety of very complex technical reasons.

I had heard similar things from a couple people....and was told by THEM, TOO, that the reasonings were a touch complex to wrap my head around.

It's kinda a shame, though....if all his 4 pointers played as well as mine does, it's almost a crime for him not to make more! Of course...that begs the question: Just how good ARE the 6-pointers?? I hope to find out soon!

When we hook up, you can take a turn on the table with mine... :D
And I bet I will have to pry it out of your hands especially now that the shafts have Sniper tips on them.

I'll give you fair time to revoke that offer, Myron. When it comes to cues I really like, I have one hell of a Kung Fu grip!! :) :)

The offer will stand!
But you only get to take one cue home...
So which shall it be?

Ouch!....that's a tough one.

Think I'll be needin' a life-line to make that call. Maybe phone-a-friend......

Check your PM's, buddy. More intel for you.
