Bat Barrel cards, What bats are some of these from?
I was checking out some of those 1/1 game used bat barrell cards that the card companies are now doing. Not a big fan of game used bat cards, but the barrel label one's like these are really cool from ultra high end products. At least you know they are from said player's lumber. Couple of these I have questions on.
What bat brand it this Matsui from?
This Ortiz?
This Manny?
This Arod just sold for $1,800. Is this a Louisville Slugger from early days, pre sig on the bat? When did he start getting sig model.
This Mantle LS sold for huge money.
A few other's I have found pics of. Bonds looks like his Sam bat and Ichiro regular MP style bat. I believe they make these in fold out type cards. I've never seen one in person.

I agree with both the Matsui being an Xbat (Model 27?) and the Ortiz looks like Cooper script. The A-Rod looks like a Rawlings to me. Mantle is a Louisville. Bonds looks like a Sam bat. Both Ichiro bats are Mizuno, I think. Those are all my guesses.

The AROD looks like a Rawlings, with RANGERS under his name. Probably a BP bat.

Re: Bat Barrel cards, What bats are some of these from?
I would definitely say the Matsui is a XBAT
The AROD does look like a Rawlings
David Ortiz does look like a cooper
Out of curiousity just from passed discussions has anyone ever seen Matsui use an XBAT or for that fact anything other then a Mizuno?

I looked into Getty pictures and every Matsui picture shows Matsui using a Blonde Mizuno the only time he used a black bat was Mizunos for Batting Practice and to further shows his bat of preference is Mizuno here are pictures from Matsui's museum of Game Used bats as you can see they are all Mizuno

art jaffe sold a black 2003 ARod rawlings gamer for $800. someone could've bought the entire bat and still had $1k left over for dinner.

I still think some hard core card collector's have no idea they can buy complete game used stuff cheaper than what they pay for high end game used cards/patch cards. I do like the bat barrel cards much better than when they just have a plain piece of wood on card. Yep, I agree the Arod looks like a Rawlings. Must be some Manny experts who can figure out what that is from. I was searching on you tube and came across the Mantle bat card video. I guess it sold for over 4 grand.
