Check out this ebay listing for a Bonds SAM Bat: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160415240816 .
I bought a bat off of craigslist from this same guy (Maya or Ian Holmen) that was supposed to be a non-player model SAM Bat. When I got it, it was clearly a fake.
At first glance, it seemed like a legit bat. But the SAM Bat logo was wrong (the shape was slightly off and the bat's eye were circles, rather than convex triangles), the wood was not high quality, and the paint smelled like something you'd buy at Home Depot. I've been collecting SAM Bats for years now and this one was clearly something he'd made himself.
I emailed him and told him he should sell his bats as replicas, and I never heard back from him (but I never saw another listing on craigslist from him).
This guy may have suddenly gotten himself some rare Bonds bat (with a ridiculous story about it being from 100 year old lake logs), but I'd say this is WAY too likely to be fake to even consider.
