Help with a couple of bats

[perlman9]

I have the opportunity to buy some game used bats. I already committed to getting a Cody Ross for $35, which I hope is an okay price. It is for my 8-year-old to hang on his wall. But on a more serious note, the same seller has a Russel Martin and Cameron Maybin and a Miguel Cabrera. The Cabrera is a Diablo I think, but whichever it is has he decal on the bat and his nephew removed that decal. So not sure what a fair price for those three bats would be? If I were to get them, would be more for investment versus something I am really wanting, so if I can get a good price, I would consider them. Any thoughts on value? Thanks for any help!!

from the nameplate the Cabrera looks to be an x-bat

Hey there! The problem I see is that the Florida marlins bat does not look like a cameron maybin. Or is the maybin not pictured? The cabrera bat is a "x" bat. Maybin is a young star who i see as a potential superstar...anything around 50-80 I would consider a good investment if you are looking for good return. The cabrera bat not having a decal may detract from value. I would think anything less than $200 would be a good deal for an investment. These are just my opinions but I hope this helps ya out!

thanks! The Maybin wasn't pictured, that was a Matt Treanor. I passed on that one. You are right, he said the X decal was pulled off. Wasn't sure how much that would detract from the value of the bat. I collect mostly jerseys so just get a bat here and there. I will see what he wants for them and if I do not get them, will let folks here know if someone wants to snag them up. I will probably pass on the Russell Martin if anyone is interested!

Thanks!

A quick update, he is letting the bat go for $100, so hope that is a decent price without the sticker! And am getting the Cody Ross for $35. The Maybin is sold but think he still has the Martin.
