I dun suppose you know if it is still full splice under the wrap do you?
Looks like a Ralf Greenleaf titlist blank.

I don't know but may remove the wrap and find out.
If it was a Ralf Greenleaf titlist blank does it make it worth more or less then a regular titlist blank..
Much less
The points were rarely even on the Greenleaf blanks. It still should do over $700 on the bay. I wouldn't mention the Titlist or Greenleaf thing.

i think that you would be lucky to get 300 to 400 in todays market...pm palmers arent the most sought after palmers...pms and pbs seem to go for that price unless they have alot of inlays..over the past month or so on ebay several 2 and 3 catalog cues have been selling or have sold under 900..but who knows maybe someone is looking for this pm to finish there collection...gl with your sale.. mickey carroll
Nice Playing Cues......
Jimmy, I think these make really nice playing cues myself. Chris might be able to give you a better idea of the value but, as stated above the market is pretty soft (as I'm sure your aware).
IMHO, the collectibility isn't there but, it would make a great butt blank to start with for someone wanting to make a conversion or everyday player.
Best of luck with your sale, Ken
P.S. -- I'd cut the wrap off right now to see if it's a fullsplice.....definitely worth a few $$$ more!!!

Until Chris chimes in... 
This is actually a Model #5 (The Browning) in the Pete Margo Bullet Series, as opposed to a PM model. I'm pretty sure the blanks were Adams and the cues were finished in the Palmer shop.
The Bullet Series, while not a super collectible old Palmer line, had some pretty cool cues. The upper end models had some interesting inlays. The veneers aren't Titlist or Greenleaf (wrong colors), but are "the classic" black, orange, green, natural.
I would think the cue should bring three hundred in today's market. One thing this cue has that's a good feature, is that the logo still looks pretty good. Most of the Bullet Series I've seen over the years have lost it.
You might find the guy that's looking for just this cue to finish out his collection that would put a little premium on the cue. If I remember right, a couple of well known Palmer collectors were looking for a Model 11 from the third catalog. It was a very plain cue that you just didn't see a lot of on the market. I know one of the collectors told me that he had found one on Ebay and felt that he should be able to pick it up for around $400 at the time. He said that he didn't want to take the chance of losing it, so he put his bid in at $700 to take care of last minute snipers. When he got home that night, someone had outbid him at the $700! Ya just never know...
Good luck with your sale!
