Good Condition: An above average condition used cue that would be nice in a collection "as is" or is easily restored for a showpiece.
Excellent condition: A restored or refinished cue in near 100% condition.
Premium Collectible: A near 100% original and fine example (very rare!). Sale is further enhanced by a documented history including original ownership, year and location purchased, etc.
Use the grid to estimate the cash values with an allowance for condition. Many cues fall between price brackets.
