A part from the issues with the facility and the show in general it was good to see everyone again. We picked up some nice cues which I will have pics of.. Kleins, Blackcreeks, and a few others. To all the usual suspects, good seeing everyone again.

Nice meeting and making new friends, starting with Travis and doing our deal, enjoy the elephant tooth :), look forward to working with Ryan at Rat, will be in touch, and AV cues, whom I met previously, he is doing some extreme butterfly work and we look forward to seeing more of his stuff.

I will have the Kleins and Blackcreeks posted. Jamie posted a few of the Blackcreeks in his thread, check them out, he is really making great cues.

Not many cues walking around as in the past, only saw 3 palmers for sale, 3 or 4 Gus Szams, no Bushkas for sale, but one of the most beautiful Bushkas made the show and we got to see it. Its a cue that there are not enough adjectives to describe. Lotta Scruggs action, both in buying and selling.. still a lot of traders...

Please forgive the off topic question. I am a newby.
I have been trying to find the identity of the cue I had from 1969-1973. I bought it in Lompoc California and was told it was a Paradise. Later when people saw it they always said it was a Palmer. I have found a cue that is very close, the Palmer #5 from the first catalog but the butt sleeve/plate does not look quite right. My stick simply had ebony with inlay, no window or other business like rings. It had a leather wrap. The joint was nickel silver. The Palmer collectors web site says that Balabuska, Palmer and Paradise were making very similar cues. Is there a source of Paradise photos from the late 60s?
