I've searched all over this site and couldn't find an answer so I thought I would ask. I have a Josh Hamilton MLB authenticated game used bat and I'm going to the game tonight and should I try to get it signed?
Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
to each their own on this issue. Some guys like them and other do not. It just depends on what you want. Me personally i collect g/u stuff in order to get it signed. I like collecting auto's but i figured you only need so many signed balls and pictures. It added a whole new element to my colection.Baseball do what it do

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
I am not sure about the Rangers, but you can't bring a bat into the stadium in Atlanta, so unless you are planning on trying to get the signature at the players parking lot I would imagine it would be a waste of time to bring the bat along. I would recommend waiting until he has a signing somewhere.Russell Wuerffel

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
I would not worry about the MLB Authentication in making the decision. The bat is still authenticated regardless of the signature being added later.
I would recommend though if you ever sell the bat that you consider explaining the MLB Authentication does not cover the autograph. In the interest of full and fair disclosure to potential buyers.
Kind of opposite but illustrates the point, I have seen people sell bats as PSA authenticated, when PSA only verified the autograph not the game use. Its just bad practice to omit those key facts which causes buyers to be misled.sigpic

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
Good point. Just remember that MLB Authentication has two types of sessions, one for signing and one for game used so any one session cannot cover both the item and the autograph. Signing sessions are usually private sessions and game used sessions are during or right after the game.Regards,

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
Maybe I am not following what you are saying. I have seen some duals... that were well apart timing wise, like 8.5 months... ie they authenticated game use, then added the autograph to the same holo # at a later date:

It seems that the bat piece was authenticated in 2008 and then latter on presented at a signing and instead of giving another hologram, they added information to the database for the same hologram.
So I guess there is certain protocal that occurs when a item is presented for more than one session. Thanks for bringing this up.Regards,

I had a John Smoltz jersey that was done the same way with the autograph added to the current hologram later, and I currently have a Jackie Robinson Day Mike Gonzalez jersey that was done the same way.Russell Wuerffel

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
So I guess my next question is if there is a dealer for Rangers memorabilia that also does signings that utilize MLB authentication for private signings.Regards,

Re: Should I get an MLB authenticated game used bat signed?
you cant take the bat into the ball park in arlington. Not sure if you live close. A lot of time you can get hamilton before the game when he drives in to the players parking lot under the stadium.Baseball do what it do
