Pool cues are like poker chips, right? (1 Viewer)

[pltrgyst]

Well, in that acquiring them becomes an uncontrollable urge, at least.

Along with too many poker chips, I've acquired far too many pool cues over the years. Sadly, pushing 80, with the loss of my dominant right eye, I can't compete any more -- so they have to go. I'd like to see as many as possible end up in the hands of other loonies who love both games, rather than unknowns on eBay.

So here they are. All are available now, except for the two Dale Perrys, which are promised to my brother. If you see anything you like, talk to me. (I will sell them only within the US, at buyer's expense.)

Nice cues. I'm looking for an old Ricco to shoot with. I have one that I love, but it's too nice and has too much sentimental value to shoot with as a daily.

Yes, we have a disease.

Beautiful collection you have there, love the sneaky. We've talked some cues before I think. I've had a few, nothing like the collection you have. I've had mostly Scruggs. I'd love to find a Cochran someday, that dude did incredible work for Tim. He worked on my cue before he passed when I sent it in for a refinish. He asked me if he could work on it to make it look nicer as it was one of Tim's early cues from 79-80. The points were uneven and he put "natural" diamonds at the points. He did a masterful job and would not charge me for the work. I mean, he was a hell of a guy. Here's a few of mine.

My current player before and after...

Left to right: White then all Scruggs. I only have 2,4,5 left and the green 5 was my first cue I bought with my own tournament winning when I was 16 for $475 I think, back in 94/95.
