Hello, why does the steel collar part always get scratched?

I missed a huge opportunity to get a Balabushka cue, my mom knew him and told him her son played pool and he offered for me to pick ANY cue from his website and he would give it to me. It didn't feel right for me to do that on some of these extremely expensive cues so I never did. I regret that.

I am sorry, but that is just not possible. A website? George Balabushka passed away back in the 70's (long before internet websites were around). Authentic Balabushka cues sell for $5-$10k, and up. The cue in this video is an Adam Balabushka, from Japan. Just a Replica, and nothing like the real thing. These sold for like $600-$1000, new. Made in Japan. If it was on a Website, then it must have been a Replica, from Japan.

@justinbryson352 How is it not possible that the owner of the company didn't offer her that. Obviously not George being dead but whomever owns it now. They get their precision electric motors from CRP industries

@@vickaminski I am sorry. My main point was that if the cue was found on a website, brand new, then it could not have been an original Balabushka. When you said website, I assumed you meant like a new product on a website (like Seyberts billiards supply for example, who only sells brand new cues). George Balabushka cues were only back up until the early 90's, I believe, up untul he passed away. Then sometime in the late 80's, Adam starting building the replica cues, with permission from the Balabushka family. Those were made in Japan, up untul the mid 90's. Then they moved to China, and were made in China.

@justinbryson352 when you say origional you mean made by the man himself who died in 1975 and made 1200 cues over his life going for 10's of thousands of dollars.
