Model 20-223 Phillie

in the 1983 catalog

I believe the models were all named after baseball teams

Value?

Not a lot. I got the next model up for $70 a year or two ago.

I like it, and want one.

Thank you for the information I don't want to sell I think it looks really sharp and may have to be my new player since I damage everything expensive LOL
 
Except for the butterfly this is almost exactly what my first cue looked like.. I got mine 1n 78' if my memory serves from Sportmart a local sporting goods store.. I remember polishing the joint with Brasso and hand tapering the shaft to match the look (joint) and feel (shaft) of a guy knew who had a Gus... LOVED the shiny stainless joint look back then.. Still do :)

This cue is in very nice condition but by then the cues weren't built very well.. Not sure of value today but unlike Chop I have no desire to own another..
 
That cue is in excellent unplayed condition. In average condition it would be worth ~$150, but in this condition I would pay as much as $200. These are decent playing cues. I own one of the other models. The catalog is hard to find but a few are out there. The cue as previously mentioned is from the early eighties.

The later ones had stainless pins, earlier pointed brass.

Anyway, my buddy wants one. He has a small collection and wants one of each of the production cues from that era. He does not have a RICH.

I may just sell him the one I got. I only bought it because it was cheap and I wanted an up close look at one for my records.

IIRC you and I have the exact same model. The Yankee.

I would say you are right on with the value. Between 150 and 200...200 max. Condition is everything.

I paid 175 which I thought was fair looks like new no dings at all. Thanks for all of your feedback guys I really do appreciate it!!

That is great to hear !!
 
I have a Rich from that era, but with the non pointed stainless pin. It hits spectacular, very old school solid hit. Mine has ~RICH~ vs -RICH- though.
Since the relative collectibility is low compared to the quality, it's usually a win-win as the prices are low.
 
These were the 1980's Taiwan imports, Rich only in name. Here's the best I have on the catalogs.They were imported by a company here well after Imperial acquired Rich.
