Barry Bonds Sam Bat Ebay

[Rboitano]

I have not seen any 2002-2003 era Bonds Sam bats. If anyone has one does it compare to the one that is listed? Does the tape look similar? Does the handwriting on the barrel end look the same? I think Barry has been keeping all of his equipment from the last 5-6 years and it is rare to see one without a letter from Bonds Authenticated.
Thanks

Uh oh. The underlined above the date is not a good sign on SAM bats. Usually means it was not issued for player use.

Also, I don't like the criss-cross tape job----but the underline would keep me away!!!

Thats what I was thinking with the underline. I also looked through Getty from 2002 and the tape really dont match. I also question the ball marks, they look like just ink transfers with no seam marks.

No 2002-2003. But here are the markings on my 2001 Bonds SAM bat.
