Thurma Munson Bat on Ebay

Does anyone know if Munson taped his bat handles? I don't recall ever seeing this.

Here's a photo I found on Getty. This bat looks like it has tape.

Thanks David.

The bat looks like a nice exmple. Jim Caravello, any input?

Thanks

The Munson bat is solid and Munson occasionally did tape the handle of his bats as pictured. The bat boy story is legit, as I have spoken to that guy in the past and you can't get a Munson with more provenance than that. It's getting up in price and nice Munson bats are hard to find........good luck to anyone bidding! Jim

She sold for $5,600.........Munson bats have definitely seen a marked increase in value in the last few years...........

That was a really nice looking bat, so was the Mantle the same guy was offering. If i had the money i would love to add a Munson bat to my collection. This photo is the only item i have of something relating to munson, and i dont know if its real. The person before me said it had failed PSA and JSA because its not a full autograph. And the person he got it from had two Thurman checks which were real, its all he say he say. But i believe it's real, the t,h and m are spot on. What do you guys think. Sorry about the T it's right on top of a dark spot. It's also signed by Rick Miller.

That signature looks bad in my opinion. I would like to here Sammy's opinion, but I think he will agree with me...

$5600 WOW!! I liked the bat, just tough to spend $5600 without being able to handle the bat first. I figured it would sell for about $4300.
