In 1969, Denny Glenn was 18 and made a trip to New York City to ask George Balabushka to make a cue for him, the cue cost him $125.00.
Today, Glenn owns over near 800 cues, some of them the most famous cues in the world. He even owns owns the Herman Rambow cue that Willie Mosconi ran the 526 balls with back in 1954 and the Balabushka St Louie Louie played with back in the day.
Said to be the largest cue collection in the world his collection contains over 30 Balabushkas and Barry Szambotis, including Buddy Hall’s Balabushka that he used to win his first wold championship.
Denny specializes in collecting cues from famous players with 90% coming from champions including a number of cues once owned by Jersey Red.
He has been offered blank checks for some of the cues in his collection, but Denny’s answer is always the same as he told Buddy Hall when asked if he could have his Balabushka back, “I don’t sell cues.”
