Identify Model of a Players 502 Pool Cue Stick

I picked this Players pool cue stick up off a older gentleman at the spot I frequent. The house cues there are always so neglected. He's was super nice and asked me if I wanted to buy his cue stick, and obviously I did.

Now I just wonder more about the cue stick and I can not seem to find anything on line.

So my questions are:

1. What model is the Players cue?
2. Who is depicted in the graphic on the pool cue?
3. When was the pool cue made?
4. How much is this Player's cue worth?

Thank you so much.

   It is a Players T-G60 pool cue from the Player's Graphite series circa 2006-2007ish.

   The MSRP was $74.99 but most online retailers sold it new for $59.99 USD. It would be worth somewhere less than this today, in used condition.

   From the brochure:

   Players T-G60 Pool Cue

   Players Graphite Series pool cue with a white graphite forearm. The butt is white graphite with a dressed skeleton holding TNT. The joint is stainless steel with 5/16 x 18 pin with two sets of nickel silver rings. The wrap is a high tech grip. This pool cue comes with one white graphite shaft with a 13 mm pro taper and a Le Pro leather tip.

   I bought this same Players cue around 2010 and have never been able to find anything about it anywhere online.

   The only difference is that mine has the number "505" instead of "502".

   Those numbers aren't model numbers.

   The "502" and "505" are date codes representing the pool cue's "born date". The date code system is flawed, but it is a date code nonetheless.

   I am 99% sure that it goes as follows:

   • First digit = Year
   • Last two digits = Month

   ...so the two examples mentioned above would be:

   • 502 - 2005, 2nd month
   • 505 - 2005, 5th month

   This format is similar to what some cue brands use, but again, Players cues' date code structure isn't publicly documented.

   Hopefully the info I shared above in the previous answer covered your questions.
