I'm curious if any of you have ever purchased bats from JT Sports, and if so, what your experience has been…
I appreciate it in advance.

Hands down one of the best if, #1 even for game used Authentic bats. JT sports is the official grader and authentication for PSA. Its a 100% given if you purchase your bat from these guys. I could say more, there is so much to talk about the history of them. I am sure other members will fill in the blanks for me. I have purchased a few bats from them and have mine graded by them as well, there is no other that come close to them.

Mr. Taube.....Best in the business. You won't have any issues dealing with him.

You have to pay for it but you know what your getting. Also the bat authentications cost is minimum $100 not including shipping so at least your getting that with it as well so its an added bonus.

I purchased a David Ortiz game used bat from them last month. It was the first time I used them and I drove myself nuts wondering if I did the right thing.
When I rec'd the bat I did a quick search on line and was able to photo match the bat in no time.

ALWAYS make sure to get all pictures and ask all questions before buying a bat from anyone, don't care what a letter says or who the seller is reported to be. As a long time collector, 40 years, I am amazed that people pay money to authenticate bats and trust someone hands down.. When money is the goal, cover all your bases and make sure what you are paying for, is what your getting.. Just a word to the wise.. As always, just my opinion. Enjoy your day.:)

Just bought a Corey Hart bat from him during his "year end clearance" sale. Looks like a good bat. Good prices on most of his stuff too. He's definitely the household name as far as bat authentication goes.

He buys a lot of his items off ebay and then writes a COA for it and charges a premium. If you know what to look for in authentic gamers then skip all the middle man BS.

You got examples of items he's bought off ebay?? Because I've never seen items from ebay go right to his store before.

I have sold to him before but not through eBay. It took him 3 or 4 months before it even showed up on his site.

John Taube is an excellent source for game used bats. He has taught me to understand the importance of provenance in acquiring game used equipment. He does thorough research on each bat and I have been able to find a source of truth in John when I have questions. If you have questions he will give you an honest opinion. Without doubt he is the best in the business.

He bought a Rollins bat from me off Ebay and it went up fairly quickly on his site.
