blue ink transfers

[justinlm24]

OK, someone please help on this one....I saw a game used bat at a local shop today that has what appears to be blue ink transfer from the baseball, and you can actually read the word "base" from what I assume is from "major league baseball". Ok tell me, is this even possible??? I thought it was kind of strange, as I have never seen it before. I have no interest in buying the bat, but was just curious if that is possible.....

Re: blue ink transfers

I have had a few gamers with the ink transfers that had legible writing. Have had alot more that were just smudged.

Well it was smudged, but you could still read it.....That is kind of neat. First time I ever saw that

I just picked up a Doug Mirabelli AND Mike Lowell game used bats and both had legible "Rawlings" transfers and i have seen it before so it is definitely possible

I have several bats which you can make out the ink transfer marks and the actual words that were on the ball. The top bat is a Keith Hernandez gamer which actually has the RAW and haiti which transfered on the barrel of the bat. The other 2 bats are a blonde Roger Cedeno bat which you can actually make out the Leonard Coleman signature and a Derek Bell which has the blue ink transfers which include the cork cushioned imprints.

I have a Roberto Alomar bat GU black LV which when you hold up to the light I can see the oval Phillies Veteran's Stadium logo from the balls the Philllies used to commemorate the closing of the Vet!

I thinks ink marks add authenticity to the bat.
