Is the third cue (first cue on the right) a Searing? The logo and wrap looks a little like a Thomas Wayne? Or it could just be my poor eye sight and ignorance

Yeah I know him and remember his collection well and I took tons of pics of his collection(imagine that) i am still learning to match real names to the Screen name. Thanks Will for helping me out along the way! !!
Thats one reason I enjoy this side of pool, people are there to tell stories, help spread knowledge, help out anyway they can and great lifelong friendships are made. In the poolhall someone is always trying to beat you out of $$or put u out of the tournament.
Iam new to AZ but I imagine i will be able to match names to faces before to long,especially with the help of guys like Will ,Ken,Paul,thanks guys.
I may be new to this AZ thing but I LOVE IT, I can finally talk cues with people cuz at the local poolhall(no offense to them) but when i talk about 100k + cues like Celtic Price or the Silver Gina they act like i am absolutely 110%full of crap or just plain crazy.

I went back through a bunch of pictures to double check and you know what??? We are both wrong,its a GINA!!! Now Will does own a Searing box cues with "flame"veneer veneers but that isnt it.
Thanks for catching that and I actually edited my original post

Thank you for the kind words Ken. I have a blast at every cue show every year. It is the one thing i looked forward to. Especially this year, I told you about that bad car accident I was involved in back in April and I literally didnt do anything all spring and summer.it sucked but had to do it for legal reasons.
I cant be out playing golf and pool everyday and expect a settlement.
At Johnny Archers poolroom outside ATL was the first time i had hit any balls since before the accident. Not using it as an excuse but I think our match would have went differently than it did. Like it did at the tournament in Sante Fe
My first match was Phil Eastwood of Quivers and I won 3-0 my next match was you I lost 3-2 and had a combo 3-9 in the case game that I missed and you ran out on me. After you beat me you caught a gear and started playing pretty jam up pool buddy.
I look forward to the tournament but the thing i like most is sitting outside having a smoke and picking all of your guy's brains,the info I have gotten from cue makers like Andy, Jim Stadum,Pete Tonkin and collectors like Phil Windham,YOU,and few others(not many collectors smoke) that info, stories and just "good ol cue talk" is priceless to me.
I ask alot of damn questions but I wanna know what going on,I just dont wanna sit there,I wanna be part of the conversation but only IF I KNOW WHAT THE HELL I AM TALKING ABOUT, after either 8or 9 ICCS shows and god knows how many questions later,I feel like i have a good amount of knowledge.
I know I am lucky as crap to be amongst the best cue makers,best collectors and their collections and I know a lot of people would give their eye teeth to be in my shoes. Iam lucky,I know that-but I am also humble about it and I dont and never will take it for granted. Ive made some true life long friends and cherish those friendships,its the better side of the pool world, where someone aint tryin to rob you,shoot you,beat you up over $$$ ect ect

I don't mind, it's just a descriptor and like you said people who know me, know who I am. I definitely plan on being at SBE, rooms booked and everything. And it's "Paul from Boston" no offense Gian :thumbup:
Should be at SBE this year
