Something Special

Hello, the item is just more eBay Bull. How many Commemorative Mosconi cues / items will be made? The only end is market saturation and then the items are only worth the materials used to make them. Willie was great no doubt about it, but these items have no connection to him other than name( he never touched them), so I suppose a Joss is just a Joss.

It is not worth $7000 to me. There may be some sucker out there that is willing to pay for a overpriced Joss because of some letter of authenticity. The only thing the letter does is prove to people that you got ripped off.

To me 7K seem like a little too much also.:)
 
Maybe if they moved the decimal point over one place to the left, they'd get some bids. Nobody will bid $6K, I believe. The cue is nothing special, but might fetch a grand (at most) as an oddball collectible. Maybe not, as there are apparently 80 of these cues out there somewhere!

Put collectable, limited edition on it, and letter of letter of authenticity on something and people think it automatically adds thousands to the price.

Everything is collectable. It will sit and collect dust while you try to get your money back.

Limited edition means they will limit the amount becasue they don't think they could sell anymore before they come out with another.

The only thing missing from the discription is limited to only one per household or customer
 
Hype and price aside (is there anything else left?) it really is an attractive cue.
 
Joss released 2 cues in the Mosconi line several years ago. This one being the more limited with a production of only 80 cues. The other cue was limited to a run of 526, Mosconi's high run. If I remember correctly, they were priced around $700.00 and $400.00 or so new. This cue isn't worth several thousand, but it is worth several hundred. You don't see them too often on eBay, maybe only one every few months.
 
Mosconi cue

I like the cue, but not for that price. It looks like the Joss's of yesteryear
instead of the low end models they now make.

It sure looks to me like the SS joint has some wear on it at the top of it.
Mammoth ivory is the best though. You would have thought they would have put a better wrap on it than the ole see it everywhere black with white
speck wrap.
 
The stainless may look to have some "wear", but it's probably the engraving signifying the cue as one of the Monsconi line and the individual numbering. They've done this type of identification on the Mosconi cues and the line of Eddie Taylor cues from several years back, that I know of.

I meant above 'Willie Mosconi' and above the scroll work above that, just
under the top edge, it looks scrapped/scared too me.
