A bat that had a taped barrel for bp can grade a GU9? Doesn't sound right when great bats have been graded 8-8.5.

Re: Don Mattingly Gamer
Nick,
Have you emailed Taube and asked about it??? Maybe he felt it was a gamer then Don decided to use it as a BP bat. -
Re: Don Mattingly Gamer
For what its worth.. There is a 2001 Sam Bat on ebay that is graded an 8. Looking at the PSA LOA it states the bat has two mount holes that have been filled on the back of the bat. Besides the tape job being wrong. This bat was pulled from a Lithograph Hoskins did that came with a game issued bat mounted in the display. Looks like the bat was pulled from display, taped, etc.. than presented as game used. My point is if a gamer is proven to be doctored or wrong, does the PSA cert become voided or re-graded? The seller has it on ebay for over $9K. John does an incredible job with bats and grading, but some do slip through the cracks.Comment

But in general any type of grading is stupid. People put too much in a "Number" whether it being cards, autos or bats. You could have two bats just as nice but if one is graded a 10 people will pay ALOT more for that one compared to the ungraded one.Comment

Re: Don Mattingly Gamer
Nick, how would you specifically fix the system? Who would you have PSA hire to help John out with the authenticating?

The above link to the PSA cert and eBay listing. Do you have a link to the Hoskins litho display? That might be helpful to getting things corrected on that. It's quite disturbing that the bat would get an 8 grade, given the circumstances. However, the weird thing is the PSA link only shows the bat as "authentic" without a grade.Comment
