Hey,

I bought my copy directly from that celebrity named Mike Specht a few years ago and it came with a hand-written letter signed by Mike. Just try to top that!!! Its not for sale, but I'm guessing the value of an autographed hand-written Mike Specht letter must be somewhere in the 1 to 2 figure range :)

Kevin, I bought my copy of "BATS" from Vince, which came with a hand-written thank you letter from Vince. We can start a debate about which of us has a more valuable letter. :)

[sportscentury]

I would estimate the value of each of your copies to be in the $700-$800 range.

With that issue resolved, the auction for my BATS book closes tomorrow.

Thanks for looking,
Reid

For clarification, the auction ends on Sunday morning (11/26).
Thanks,

Kevin, do you believe that our copies of "BATS" are worth that much? David

[ghostkid]

No, I have a hard time believing I could get $700-800 for my copy. However, if anyone is interested, here is official notice that my copy is for sale. Included is a letter handwritten and signed by Mike Specht, on BATS official letterhead dated February 17, 2003. The letter specifically mentions the "binding deal I was talking about in between pages 76 and 77, so be careful in that area, or use scotch tape to reinforce these pages." I was careful and did NOT apply any scotch tape to the book. The book shows some wear and a few loose pages, but no missing or torn pages. Email an offer if interested.
