BMC Casino 5 Joker Pool Cue - Marked with a #5
A BMC Casino 5 Joker pool cue with a number 5 on the forearm. Apparently this one is the 5th and last Casino 5 cue to be made and sold. See images for details. From the owner: I bought a Budget Billards Casino #5 Joker cue..They quit making them and only made 5 of them. I got #5 with Bob's autograph and a #5 on the cue. The wrap has been changed and it has a G-10 pin. I was told nobody has ordered the casino 5 cue like mine. Also in this gallery are screenshots of the email exchange with Budget Billiards where they confirm the production numbers for the BMC Casino #5 Spades cue.

BMC Joker Casino 5 Cue
A BMC Casino 5 cue with Joker cards. This one was for sale in Feb 2021. From the seller: BMC for Sale! Meucci Casino 5 Joker cue. Limited to 100 units according to Meucci. It is signed but not actually numbered. This has been my playing cue for the last 4 years. It rolls straight and is in overall great condition. I'd rate it at an 8.5/10 as it does have a small dent. It is kind of hard to see in the photo, and it's never bothered me and I never notice it during play time. Also as you can see in the pictures the cards have a yellow tint to them which seems to be very common. It comes with a matching black dot shaft (which I used mostly) and also with an Ultimate Weapon shaft that has only a few games on it. The weight is 19 oz. The asking price is $875.

Hello Mr Best,
We had decided to discontinue this model and our website has since listed the cue as discontinued. We have 1 left that is about 2 weeks to be able to ship. Out of the 100 we have listed only 3 have been sold. If you want this last one. I can send you a PayPal invoice. The cue is no longer listed on the website. We are small family run business and are currently out of town. Please forgive our slow response time to your inquiry. We do have a single runner who can get this moving at Meucci with your specs for you if you want to proceed.
Thanks,
JuliaView Gallery
