There was an interesting exchange in the Goldin auction preview thread which I'd like to take into it's own thread. It's an interesting topic and we don't want to hijack the auction thread. Plus I have a bat which I was thinking about cleaning up too.
I obtained a 2000 Timo Perez World series bat which has it's labeling covered to a point where you can bearly make out the label stampings. It looks like an old early 80's brown LV slugger now. I'm not even sure if this this bat was a natural colored bat or a brown or black bat to start with. I know Timo didn't use this bat in the WS as I viewed each of his at bats and he used an Easton.
I already ask BMH if HB would take this bat back and restore it to it's natural state but he indicated they cannot and probably wouldn't even have the original die casts from 2000.
So should I sand this bat down and try to restore it myself?
Would love to know what you guys would do.
Thanks
