I recently acquired a G/U PSA Madlock Worth bat from ebay seller "wrltoo" (Rex Lorson-100% ebay feedback)(item# 3003 2063 9916) who informed me that he got it from John Taube. Bat came with a PSA-DNA letter signed by John.Bat specs are: WC 123 BM5 35 inches listed weight in letter 30.6 ounces swing weight sticker B-10. #5 sharpie on handle end. So far so good.
Today I was going through active Madlock auction listings on ebay where seller "PC32" (Paul-100% ebay feedback) was selling a similar Madlock worth bat. But in his description he REFERENCED MY BAT saying the PSA letter was in error due to the low bat weight (30.6). He states his bat's swing weight is "also" C-1 . (But mine is B-10,not C-1). No PSA letter everything similar except swing weight and his claim of 34 ounces.
Can someone clear this up. I know Madlock used bats of 31-33 ounces in 1970-72 and then 32- 35 oz in 1977-79. Also storage conditions can effect weight but what is the swing weight value to ounces? And who the heck is Paul saying basically another auction is in error? Bottom line is a swing weight of B-10 out of the ordinary for Madlock. Could John Taube have made a mistake in estimating a G/U bat that was too light for Madlock? I e-mailed both sellers and only got a response from my seller who stated that "PC32" e-mailed him after the auction and stated that PSA was wrong based on weight to length ratios.
Any help would be appreciated.
