Any Janice Joplin fans here?

An item of hers that can be yours for much less than her weirdly painted 356...

What would it be worth if it hadn't belonged to Janice?

Around $10K...the problem is the added cost of refurbishment. Probably needs new rubber & cloth, then the labor of a skilled table mechanic. Good table mechanics are as in demand as a top Porsche tech.

(edit) Another thing is that a serious player would probably prefer a modern top tier table, like a Diamond professional table...one that plays like the ones used in tournaments.

I'm a fan, but not a fanatic. No need for a pool table.

I have always thought her 356 was incredible. Pool table isn't bad. But not nearly as nice at the 356.

The "psychedelic" table was a photochop...a joke by Orberst? The one being auctioned is as Brunswick made it around a century ago..

I've rewatched Ball and Chain from Monterey 100 times I'll bet, and every time it chills me right down to the core of my being...hell, I watched it twice today because someone posted it on this thread, and once wasn't enough.

I've yet to hear a Taylor Swift song that has given me any reason to play it again.
