    I would use John Taube for your bats... He is very through and will do a good job.

      Hello Jon,

      I agree with Frank's opinion. In addition, I highly recommend Vince Malta (who authenticates with John Taube at PSA/DNA) and Mike Specht who currently authenticates for Global and regularly contributes to this site. If you are looking for a thorough analysis that discloses the information you need to make an informed decision about a bat being game used, I would highly recommend those three.

      Sincerely,

        John Taube does an exceptional job with a quality COA complete with quaility pictures of the bat. John now for an extra fee can also grade your bats on a 10 point scale.

        John can be reached at 609-487-8003

          Vince and John are great. Dave Bushing at MEARS knows a lot about bats, as well. Grey Flannel uses PSA/DNA (Malta/Taube), I believe.

          I want to reiterate Chris' suggestion of Mike Specht, though. Mike sometimes gets overlooked because his services are not as well known as those of PSA/DNA and MEARS, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone better. He goes by username MSpecht on GUF. Good luck.
