the guy selling the embassy cue is on the line of thinking since the world champs are not sponsered by the cig company anymore than its worth some money. i agree not realistic at moment, but give it some years and bet it will. like all the cig advertising, bet the young uns wont be able to believe it in future that such companies sponsered snooker.

that made me laugh out loud

The embassy cue is the one every world champion has used from 1976 - 2005 so this particular cue has been passed from each world champion doesn't matter which player it was as long as they had this cue it was a sure thing, ( wish someone had given it to Jimmy White ! mind you it would have been worth £1000 then but at least we now know why he sadly didn't win the title ) anyway, therefore it has won an amazing 30 world titles on its own virtually hence the original £750 tag, but it got reduced to £600 when in fact it came to light that Alex Hurricane Higgins had used his own cue in 1982 and not this embassy cue. It is still a very rare piece of history none the less, Hope this clears thing up ....;-)

H1lar1ous hehe!

Oh and i forgot to mention this was the real reason Alex Hurricane Higgins went mad in the 1990 World Championship, he was promised he could have the embassy cue once more for what would have been his third title but then wasn't allowed at the last minute, resulting in the " you can shove your snooker up your jacksie " press conference. The reason had been kept a secret all these years until the famous embassy cue appeared for sale but now everyone knows i think it may be worth another £400 on top.........;-)

It is also claimed that Cliff Thorburn and Alex Higgins had a fight over the cue in the 1980 World Championship Final, with Cliff winning in the end, but sadly i've not been able to confirm this so please don't let it influence your own valuations of the cue, it would not be right for anyone to be mis-lead in anyway..........;-)

Doubtful. Cliff has always been using a Tom Gauthier cue.

Err Mr Bomber, that was a joke post i think you will find

Exactly. I think the fight wasnt actually a fight. I remember hearing/reading alex opened his mouth to cliff in a bar, cliff smacked him, alex shut up. That was it.

Sorry for any confusion guys my posts were just a joke as most of you will know, just my sense of humour i guess, though the reply from thelongbomber maybe a joke as well and he's just playing along.....;-)

Anyway back to Fedia rivals how about this one..........lol
