A-Rod bat experts...

Wondering what is off with this bat:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220566570241&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Only fetched $293 and doesn't look horrible and has the 9/10 grade. I'm by no means good with A-Rod bats.

Thanks!

Looking at the photos of the bat, it doesn't look like a 9 so I read the description.

IT WAS OBTAINED FROM A SOURCE WITHIN THE NEW YORK YANKEES ORGANIZATION. THIS BAT HAS BEEN AUTHENTICATED BY PSA/DNA. WE NO LONGER HAVE THE 'ORIGINAL' LOA FOR THIS PARTICULAR BAT BUT THE LOA SHOWN IS ONLY THREE NUMBERS OFF (THIS PSA/DNA CERT# IS H53831). THIS PARTICULAR BAT WAS NOT GRADED, ONLY AUTHENTICATED. YOU CAN CHECK THE CERT OF BOTH BATS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE ATTRIBUTES ARE VERY SIMILAR FOR BOTH. IF YOU CONTACT PSA/DNA, YOU CAN GET A REPLACEMENT LOA FOR THIS BAT.

So the certificate photo is H53827 which received an 9 and the bat for auction is H53831 which was only authenticated and not graded.

Hope that makes sense.

Yikes, sketch city!! Good catch....

I need to start reading the long winding descriptions on the side of the listing.
