I was wondering what the most expensive cues would be out there, new and vintage. It would be interesting to know the most cue makers charge for their best cues and what the star cues are of the vintage world!

Vintage I would say Joe Davis 96 & 980 cuesOriginally Posted by marc.lockley@ntlworld.com View Post -
As far as the most expensive I think the Americans might have everyone beat (for pool cues anyway). I forget the name of the type of cue, perhaps Balabushka? I've heard somewhere that the really good ones can go for up to $25,000 or more.Originally Posted by marc.lockley@ntlworld.com View PostTerry Davidson

Are Joe Davis 101 cues in the same league ? I know the record only lasted from November to December 1930.Originally Posted by Leo View Post
Seen p-e-r-a-d-o-n made some, but did Riley do a tombstone 101 also ?Last edited by billabong; 21 August 2015, 08:37 PM. Reason: to get rid of a stupid link on the word peradonComment

Nah Davis 101 wouldn't be a rare one, not to sure if Riley done a 101 but they did do a lindrum tombstone which is probably as rare as elvis being seen alive againOriginally Posted by billabong View PostComment

Some American pool cues can run close to $100,000. And even amongst ordinary players, $5k is far from uncommon.Last edited by ghost121; 21 August 2015, 10:29 PM.Comment

That's what I thought. ebay seems to show you selling one with a finishing bid of £118 !Originally Posted by ADR147 View Post
Did you stop the auction early ?
On some collector's pages, they talk about only having seen 2 in the flesh. .Comment

has anyone got any pictures of this '101' cue?
I'm getting quite intrigued with this different badge thing on old cues... I'm assuming that each of these badge cues were released when a player made a break, so if the player beat that break soon after a the preceding badge was release it would make it rarer as there'd only be a short run on that badge?#jeSuisMasterBlasterBarryWhite2v1977Luclex(andHisF ictiousTwin)BigSplash!Comment

That's why the 101 is rare. It was only his record break for 1 month.Originally Posted by bolton-cueman View PostComment

No he didn't finish it early, it was ADR's guess the finishing price which I won when I said it won't get over £185 of which it didn't. too many people say too many cues are rare just because they and their pals ain't seen many, a man around 10 years ago maybe longer called old will used to have so much knowledge about old cues and had a collection to boot too with cues I ain't seen for sale sinceOriginally Posted by billabong View PostComment

What would the Davis 96 and 980 go for?Comment

Depends who owns them and how greedy they want to be, more then likely collectors will have these and won't sell and will probably put a stupid price on them anyhow, I did hear a rumour that tonymicra off eBay as the pair and he wants in the region of £80,000 each.Originally Posted by marc.lockley@ntlworld.com View PostComment
