A few miscellaneous notes on BMC Casino-8 cues:
According to Cue & Barrel, the numbers were around the high teens or early twenties by August 2017.
Not all BMC Casino 8 Spades cues are numbered. Some are signed and numbered, some are signed and dated (no number), and some are just signed (no date or number). This is typical of Meucci.
Some folks have been calling this model the BMC Casino 8 "Yellowjacket" cue, no doubt in part due to it's yellow and black colors. This nick name seems to have originated from Cue and Barrel (a BMC dealer) who started calling it the "Yellowjacket" on their first eBay ads selling cue #02, and continued using this name through future sales of serials #04, #05, and #12, among others.

Hi there,
I purchased BMC Casino 8 spades cue #1 in December 2015. The cost was $2600 including taxes.
Here's the email from the dealer:
Thanks Miguel,
I will get this cue shipped out for you in the morning mail on it's way to the Global Processing Center at the Airport in Erlanger, Kentucky. This is a phenomenal cue and congratulations on getting the number 1 cue! That's just awesome!
I'll also take it a step further and put it in a nice carrying case for good luck and best travels for shipping. I have a very nice Joe Porper case I can put it in that will protect it. I'll email you the tracking number later this evening.
Thanks and make it a great day today!
God bless,

It's an awesome cue!
Can you share a photo of the "#1" on the forearm?
Also, would love to understand what you received for the $2600 - did that include extra shafts, shipping, cue case, etc?
I don't personally have one of these cues, but everyone I talk to says the photos don't do the cues justice.
