Would there be anyone interested in a pre 92 bluegrass cue? I am not sure what I would ask for it but am trying to get in touch with a friend for his opinion. If anyone wants to make an offer feel free to.
I have had this cue since about 94. I tried to go back to Richard's website but apparently it has been hacked recently. I do have some old emails from Richard where I was considering sending it to him to have him fix the dings and to re-wrap and find the exact date it was made. This is not signed on the outside since he made this pre92 he said that he signs and dates all of his under the wrap so that would tell me when it was made exactly. I have considered taking it to a local guy here and having him re-wrap it so I can take some digital pics of the dtae and signature but am afraid it would lower the value since this is all original. This does have BLUEGRASS in real dark print inside of the butt but is real hard to see. He no longer has the exact color of the rings but he said he had something similar.

HOW. MUCH. As long as it has the ink inside the butt, that's good enough for me....Love Richard's cues, Bluegrass is the nutz!
 
Derby City Classic

Hey,
Quick Update...
Was telling my buddy that I posted my cue on here and he reminded me that the Derby City Classic starts this weekend. Since I live here in Louisville I may try to take my cue over and talk to some of the vendors.

If I figure out a price before then I will post ASAP.

Any opnion on having a local shop instead of Richard unwrap and rewrap this cue so I can get digital pictures of date and signature?

Just take photos of the "bluegrass" inside the butt. That will serve the purpose that you intend of verification. Many of us have had these old BG cues in the past with only the sealed "bluegrass" marking in the butt sleeve.

hacked

i just cut and pasted poolcues.net and the site has been hacked!:mad:

Thanks
I still have his email so if I was going to try to contact him I would just hit reply in the old emails anyways. I was mainly trying to get to his site to copy and past the info he had posted on it about his old cues just for varification.
I took this cue with me to the APA Vegas tournament in 07 and also to the Indiana State Torunament and it seemed to be pretty popular with the vendors so thats why I'm thinking of taking it up to the Derby City. Sucks that they started hosting it over at the boat I use to go when they had at local hotel made it a little easier to come and go. I had forgotten that was coming up because I havent played in almost 2 years now.

I tried to get a pic of that when I was emailing Richard back in the day but I cant get a real clear pic of it. I will try to get it again maybe if I get the flash just right it will catch it.

Take it outside and turn flash off. Im no expert, but wife takes ALOT of pictures, so I learn a little....

I just let Richard know that his website has been hacked. It should be back to normal here soon. I would suggest just talking to Richard. He might be at the Derby for a day. If you can time it right to have him look it over and give you a quote, that might be your best option.
