Reading a couple old posts about Bo Jackson bats and Anaconda-Kaye bats I copied the info relating to the issue.
I was wondering is there a way to specifically tell a Bo Jackson B310 1986-89 bat apart. Anyone know the weight and length Bo would order? Is that different than the Anaconda-Kaye bats?
Thanks for any help at all.

"Known H & B models ordered and used by Bo include model J93 (documented 1989 All-Star Game bat with large LOUISVILLE labeling on back of barrel) and model B310. Note, however, that mint professional B310 H & B Bo Jackson bats were also sold to Anaconda-Kaye during the 1986-1989 labeling period. These bats were also sold by A-K with the LOUISVILLE lettering that legitimately appeared on All-Star and Post Season bats in 1989. 1986-90 Jackson B310 bats without the large LOUISVILLE labeling may also have been sold to the public by A-K."
"Basically, beginning in the 1986-1989 H & B label period, the company sold a significant quantity of pro model player bats with 1986-89 label markings to some retailers and dealers. One of the largest was Anaconda-Kaye Sports, Inc., and those bats are collectively known as Anaconda-Kaye bats A-K widely offered these mint pro bats to the public The 1986-89 era bats most commonly involved included the following pro model bats:
R. Henderson T141, K. McReynolds M110, D. Winfield W273, P. Guerrero W273, S. Dunston L157, S. Sax S2, G. Brett C271, J. Samuel P72, R. Sierra C157, R. Yount P72, R. Palmeiro C271, A. Van Slyke M110, D. Murphy B310, C. Ripken Jr P72, O. Smith H238, E. Davis C271, W. Boggs C235, K. Puckett C243, F. McGriff C271, D. Evans C271, Bo Jackson B310, C. Snyder P72, and A. Galleraga R161, among others. this practice continued into subsequent label periods with some of the above listed players and others, , and the bats, as in 1986-89, did not always have distinguishing markings.
With the subsequent availability of H & B records, it is clearly seen what bats were sent to A-K and other marketing companies, and often the length, weight, or finish can determine whether the bat is a possible A-K show, retail, or promo bat."
