Future Collectable Cues

[totlxtc]

Ok here is a question. What cues currently made would become collectable in the future?

[trigger666]

the obvious choice would be limited editions ??

apart from that i havent a clue !!

Any well built Parris.

Any with the name Hunt on it. Different class.

One thing I cant understand about John Parris cues and other well known makers of hand made cues is If they are so good, why are there so many for sale on ebay???

[joe2311]

because there are hundreds of new players out there that think that if they buy a top range cue say white,parris or wooldridge they will suddenly turn into a century break player and when they dont they flog them on ebay or you could blame d dale or mike russel i hear they go thru at least 100 a year.and alot of people buy before they try and when they get the cue they dont like it and again flog it on ebay.

Same reason there are private jets, yachts, Ferrari's....quality items also get sold

My thoughts exactly,,, was hoping someone would say the same

I think a cue truly becomes a rare, limited collector's item, is if the cue maker's famous, and has passed away (not trying to curse any cue makers here ). Best example are the Balabushka cues for 9-Ball, it's ridiculously expensive and hard to find these days.

Thats what i felt when i first bought an expensive cue,a parris ambassador....
I thought it would greatly improve my game and i couldn't undertstand why that didn't happen...

lmao - a cue does not make you play better but you can play better with a different cue! - as for dominic and mike, its a thrill to open a new cue and try it out, i know at least 20 people with this nasty illness, myself included!
