I have been looking for a Munich board and whenever one shows up on eBay, my interest is piqued. If you do decide to sell yours, let me know as I might be in the market. :-) By the way, I have had a very serious interest in pocket billiards ever since 1964 when I played Willie Mosconi at my university. I was the reigning straight (14.1) pool champion at the school and when he came to give an exhibition, I was chosen to be his fodder for the evening. Back then many colleges had straight pool competitions and travelling teams, like they also did in bowling. He killed me, of course, even though his skills were diminished because of a minor stroke (no pun intended). However, that started me off on a life-long love of the game. I am not a very good snooker player, though. Since we are the same age and have this common interest, I wondered when you first "got the bug"? Dick Schneiders
