Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
The pine tar belongs to someone else....not Albert. I e-mailed the seller asking if he meant he just got the bat this spring training. No response as yet. Why would he be using 2 yr old bats? Also, no pics of the knob end with all of the info on it. -
Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
The seller is a forum member and has posted on here before. Perhaps he will read this thread and post for us

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
good morning forum memebers....we have been collecting game used bats since 1984 with one of the largest game used bats collections extant in the country...we obtained this albert pujols game used bat in 2010 from a batboy in jupiter florida....for 25 years we have built major resources as batboys, equipment managers, coaches etc etc who obtained these items directly off the field. it may take longer to get great game used items but we believe in the " no leap of faith theory". the bat as mentioned was cracked and then obtained from a batboy.....when we obtained the bat we fixed the crack which was about 7 inches.....after that it was hung on a bat rack in our vast inventory....on the knob is 4 30 09 with the # 5....the bat is picture perfect and always offer 100% money back guarentee no questions asked....what ever the bat brings thats it.....700....4000.....everyone gets a chance....we have 100% feedback on ebay and hundreds of customers throughout the world since 1984....have fun and enjoy our opening day auction with many many great game used bats
happy collection,

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
afternoon propain,
as a bat collector myself ill gladly address the pine tar.....mr pujols has used many bats in his career.....in his early days there were sam and louisville sluggers which most have the pine tar in the upper regions of the label.....most marucci 's have less pine tar then his bats before.....this one has actually a lite pine tar application which is correct but also some bat rack marks.....some maruccis have less some more depends on who you get the bat from...wether it is his foundation, tony larussa, or even former players, batboys.....this bat is the cheapest but in the best neighborhood as we have obtained many great bats from this source....we will have other great pujols gamers during the year....and hundreds of great game used bats all season.....from josh hamilton to mantles, clementes to say hey willie mays.....
happy collecting,
scott gComment

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
Well I am the new owner of this Pujols bat and I just emailed the seller ( thegoodz15) to address the problems that were brought up below. I have received an email from a board member who deals in Pujols gamers all the time and he sent me a disappointing red flag about the bat
I am going to post some pics i took before I left for Baghdad. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for all the replies.

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
What I meant by "the pine tar blongs to someone else" is not only is it not applied in a Pujols manner....it is also the wrong type of pine tar. Pujols uses a very caramel colored tar. This is a diff. type and much darker than you will ever see on a Pujols gamer. He started using much more tar in 09 compared to 08. You can check Getty images for confirmation. I have an 08 and a late 09 and the difference it vast. Also, if you check Pujols used bats you will notice that the first 8-10 inches of the handle you will find almost no tar....and then a lot. He has always kept the "hands part" very clean. This bat has marks all thoughout. It is deffinitely his model, but used by someone else. Lastly, I can't imagine him using an early 09 bat in spring training of 10. Just would not happen.Comment

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
This is the same statement I received from a collector in SL. Not feeling to good about this purchase now. This was actually my first Pujols "gamer" and dropped a good amount of money on it. Guess I should have done my research. The seller is a very stand up guy so I think I'll just have the bat returned for a refund. Where would be a safe place to purchase a Pujols auto gamer??5TOOLPLAYER@COMCAST.NETComment

Hopefully it will work out for you. One of the bad things about collecting something you are not familiar with.

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
If you're looking for an auto'ed gamer, your best bet is probably through a fellow GUU collector. The last signed gamers sold by Albert's foundation were in 2007 (aside from a $10K bat from a 2009 foundation live auction). Likewise, it's been years since Tony LaRussa's Animal Rescue Foundation had a signed Pujols gamer and I don't remember the last time (if ever) that Cardinals Authentics had one.
In December 2010 and March 2011, Albert signed bats for Kevin Freistat Sports (sales@klfsports.com) and they offered several on eBay. Not sure if any of those bats are still available at this point.
Bad examples probably outnumber good ones 10:1, so it's always a good idea to post a link or photos on the board. There are numerous knowledgeable Pujols collectors here, and they're all very helpful. Best of luck to you.

Re: Ebay: Albert Pujols Game Used Bat.....
If you are looking for a Pujols, I can help you out. I have an auto'd 2009 available with LOA from Taube and Pujols. Will sell at a price lower than what your seeing on ebay listings for similar bats, plus with a higher grade. Excellent use with many deeply imbeded seam marks.Comment
