How do you like your Baseball bats?

[SkubeBats]

I was wondering how you like your baseball bats. Pick from the following list.

unused
game used
uncracked
cracked
signed
unsigned
broken in 2
piece missing
heavy use
light use
pine tar or mota stick
etc.

I like my bats to be uncracked game used signed and also they should show nice use to them.

Game used for me. Signed is ok too, but just plain ole game used is enough.

Game used, heavy use, photo matched, signed and uncracked. Handed to me by the player would be great too.

Nothing on he list is a deal breaker because all the bats I have in my collection WERE handed to me by he players or by clubhouse managers. Anything that was broken in two, however, WOULD be repaired after receipt.

Game used, pounded, broken in two...

Completely destroyed i.e. broken in 2 or more pieces, unsigned, & photomatched/videomatched

Ideally...as much use as possible, with ridiculous pine tar, MARKED with the player's number (or a name or nickname) on knob and/or barrel end, and uncracked.

I prefer that my bats are handled and used by 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun.

Re: How do you like your Baseball bats?

of course within normal player characteristics, my preference is:

1. Used...
2. HEAVILY...
3. With lots of tar/moto...
4. slight crack (I like to know the bat was used until it died, a sign of a good piece of wood that the player liked and was probably successful with)...
5. signed...

That said, if its lightly used and unsigned and missing a little wood thats often acceptable as well.

I just want an authentic bat, with good traits. However it came out of the player's hand is usually fine with me.

I'm generally against repaired bats, I want it as it came off the field. I won't repair them, but I'll buy them repaired on ocassion.

I totally agree. Couldn't have said it better myself. And Kyle, your videomatched bats are the envy of any collection. How do you find those pieces, like your WS bat sawed in half?

Re: How do you like your Baseball bats?

I prefer uncracked with heavy use and they must be signed and inscribed. And as always photomatched is huge plus.

Didnt mean to hijack the thread but Jamie has been a huge part of the forums for a long time now.

Ia Jaime the freddiefreeman guy? If so, he was banned for being rude and argumentative. He was causing all kinds of disruption. If Jaime is not the freddiefreeman guy then I'm not sure why...sorry...

Nope. Jamie is the OP, SkubeBats. He is a good guy, dedicated to a clean hobby, and I am saddened that he was banned.
