Hi
Was this even one used by him or do you guiys think it was a store model. Tell me your thoughts on it. Do you think the person who won it got a good deal or ripped off.

JUST AN OPINION / JUDGING BY THE PHOTOS - i think it is a store model, the wood on it looks way to well kept to be a game used bat. if you look at the finish on the wood it is very shiny still. of a game used bat over time bats lose the luster of the shine unless extremely well kept especially bat that is almost 40 years old if not more. I have game used bats from the 80's that are barely used that dont have that luster. JUST AN OPINION I COULD BE WRONG

That bat is from the 1969-72 era at the earliest.

If you look at the "P" in Powerized, you will see the bottom loop crosses over the vertical line which H&B began doing in 1969.

Roger's last year in "The Show" was 1968.
