I see fake Manny Ramirez go for over a thousand. Just wondering why a MLB Authenticated Kevin Youkilis would only have 1 bid. This is on the Leland's ending tonight.

Lot 1. Kevin Youkilis Boston Red Sox Game Used Baseball Bat 34" Louisville Slugger M9 T141 baseball bat game used by Red Sox favorite Kevin Youkilis. This bat has been pounded! The handle is cracked and there are ball and seam marks all over the barrel. Youk's "20" is written on the knob end in silver. The barrel is affixed with MLB Authenticated and STEINER.
Reserve: $200
Number of Bids: 1
Current Bid: $200.00

This lot closes in:
0 days 10 hours 19 minutes

My guess would be the break.I have found that broken bats such as these from Steiner almost always come in under market value.Although i have seen uncracked Youk bats go for close to $400+ on ebay so if this ends at $200 then that would be quite a good deal!I have a couple really nice Sox bats that are from Steiner auctions and are cracked very similar to this one.I paid below market value on both.
