Hey, umm, I can think of several reasons you need to buy this case. There just aren't that many around these days. There will be no more "originals' made and the "tributes" cost almost as much as this case. It looks like it's in real good shape for something that old, too...
Dude, I don't want to tell you what to invest in, but me and the boys would have already bought it, if any of us were tall enough to reach the top of a pool table! I guess I'll be renting that clown again this year with my birthday windfall.
Yo people, don't let this one get away!
