Which cuemaker?

My opinion....
Get a hold of some very early Ginas.
Spend the little left on some new ones where you ask Ernie to push the envelope and money is no object.
Personally, if speculating, I'd go with Ernie. He's one of the few remaining living legends who can still make a cue that will out-do just about everyone else.
Great pedigree there. Like a Gus. But you can't have Gus make you a new one now, and Ernie still can.
Next would be Bill Schick
Finally Richard Black, although Richard may have lost his edge a bit now. Head to head with Ernie I think Richard would be found wanting... (but I could be wrong too!)

murray that is why i said to get a 10000 tucker.....:wink:
I think by far its Tim Scruggs. The shop is closed for good. Tim has retired and there are a number of his cues in northern virginia and baltimore owned by players that will sell (fast eddys in springfield and top hat in towson ).

I have two Tuckers but only one Searing... WTF?
I'd probably try to find a mint Mike Cochran myself.
The three makers you mention bring a premium already, yes they will hold their value, but unless they quit making cues or die the value probably won't go up a huge amount unless they raise their own prices.
Black Boar is another choice I'd go with as he is older than the other three, and his cues already bring the same premium.
Just my humble opinion.

I recommend a Gus.
I will be getting a Showman cue in March. I expect it to be worth twice what I paid for it.
Buying cues for investments? Not the best idea.
