My favorite is a 30 YO Duffrin sneaky pete. I have an original Balabushka from 1964. It was made from the one of the original Titlist blanks. It's not fancy, but it's been appraised at $22K. It's really not any better than any other good custom cue, and the Duffrin plays way better for me. It's not something I even take in public unless I'm bringing it out for show at a tournament or something. Someone always wants to buy it, but when I tell them I want $30K it never goes any further.
I own a number of other cues as well, but I mostly never play with them. It's more of a collection of cues I've either won, or bought off hard up players at different halls.

What is it with all these people with multiple cues? I just have one, a Schmelkes Sneaky Pete. Not high end, but decent, and does everything I ask it to do. Honestly, half the reason I even have one is that house cues are always awful from the wear and tear of being a public object.
Still, the cue shoots better than I do, so for now, its all the cue I need.

What's wrong with having multiple cues?

Nah, nothing wrong with it, I'm just a broke college student who couldnt afford more than the one decent cue I own.
