    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.

        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,

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

              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.
