Before the High Archy comes down I checked the search first and only seem to find thread's about selling these. I see them for sale on ebay and they seem to sell pretty high most of the time and certain examples with Braz rosewood and the like go pretty expensive to say the least. What is it about these Cues that make them worth that much other than they are hard to find. Is it a Collectors thing or do these Cues actually play decent. One would have to wonder that in todays world there is far better hitting cues then one from the 1940's -1960's . Do these Hoppe Cues play that well , or do people just collect them and never play with them and just display them in their collection. I would say that they are also bought and converted with a better shaft and then the game would change I would say. But trying to figure out what makes these cues worth the money. I have seen some nice ones on ebay in the 4-500 range.
