    Need opinions on a bat.....

    Hi, I recently stopped by one of my local memorabilia dealers and noticed he has a Pete Rose game used bat. Everything with the bat checks out the only thing is that the handle is missing. What would be a good price to pay for the bat? It isnt hammered or anything, it just shows light to moderate use on the bat. plmk what you think. I believe he has it marked at $400 as well.

    I wouldn't touch a bat with the handle missing. Who knows what was was stamped on the knob. Could have been a store model.

    Always looking for vintage game used bats of Houston Buffs and Colt .45's players.

        Marcus is exactly right...Rose bats are very tricky, depending on the model and the period of his career, and length / weight are important factors in reviewing factory records. The lack of a handle makes authentication impossible in this case.

        Good Luck
