I think I've lost some faith in PSA/DNA Taube bats/Brew fans come in...

JT sports site used to be my fav, not anymore. Anyone notice anything off about the Prince Fielder d-bat gamer he has on there now??? I can honestly say I have seen every Brewer game of 08 and he never used one without certain markings on the bottom knob.
also.... The yount gamer on his site looks brand new with a little pine tar smeared on it. I also thought Yount only used cupped P72's. Any thoughts????

I know nothing about the two bats. But I do no if you just emal John, he would be more then likely willing to disscus that bat with you. I have exchanged a ton of emails with John and he's always willing to disscus his items.

The Yount's lazer engraving looks off to me also. It looks too much like a replica model bat.

If you guys have questions about HIS bats, why dont you just email and ask him?

I emailed him late, late last night about a bat and got an email this morning at 7am. So its not like he won't respond.

Laser engraving? That is a brand.



Not that Mr. Taube needs my help, but according to Mr. Malta's book Yount had an order of P72's in 91 and another in 93 with no finish. He also had orders for P72C's.

I know nothing about the Fielder bat.

If you don't want to e-mail John just give him a call. I've never had any problem getting ahold of him at his office. He's great!

taube has always been awesome to me. I would have to agree with everyone else and say if you are questioning his stuff then talk to him directly about it.

Yep, known Taube a long time. You need to talk direct; not talk about his product here beforehand.

I can only strongly suggest that anyone just email or call John. He's always been great to discuss his items with as well as bats and baseball in general.

He's a great asset to our hobby and I'm glad I get to deal with him.

Taube is one of the most respected person in the hobby. Instead of trying to disclaim him first, why not contact him personally first. Why burn a bridge you may need later.

I have a Tino Martinez 2004 Devil Rays bat I bought from JT Sports, which I like. Another forum member questioned the writing on the knob end cause it did not match his. Also there is a minor league ball mark on it.

The thread got a little bit out of hand...

Anyways JT contacted me and offered to buy the bat back.

JT also assured me the bat was good. I told him I wanted to keep it.

A great person to deal with!!!!!

What are the certain markings on the knob of Fielders bats??? I have only seen his uniform number ?? Could you clarify what you mean. Thank you

I've dealt with John. He authenticated an item for me. Responded to everyone of my emails quickly, and also when out of his way to help me on other matters. Most trustworthy person I know in the hobby.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I have been dealing with John since I purchased my first bat from him in 95 or 96. Couldn't be a better guy to deal with.

I'll add to the comments of those who respect John. One time he knew I was looking for a Pudge bat and let me know about one. When I contacted him he said he was no longer offering the bat, he had checked it out and did not feel he could authenticate it.
