Hello Suave,
It probably doesn't get much better than this for Strawberry bats.
David,
I've gotten all my nickles together. Will you accept U.S. Postal money order for the transaction?

Re: Suave here's something for you !
GUYS WOW THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT!!!
WHEN I SAW THIS I STARTED DROOLING LOL LO
BUT UNFORTUNATELY AFTER LOOKING OVER THE PICTURES THERE ARE TOO MANY RED FLAGS FOR ME.
The Handle is taped - Strawberry to the best of my knowledge never and after reviewing many photos from the 80's never saw Strawberry tape a handle.
The 18 on the knob is questionable too its a bit off from Strawberry hand writing.
I AM GONNA DO SOME MORE HOMEWORK BEFORE I CONSIDER MAKING A PURCHASE!!
lets not forget they just had the game used strawberry jersey for sale lol lol

Suave,
I do have recall seeing some photo with Straw using a Rawlings Adirondack with criss cross tape though i completely agree it's not the norm. I'll see if I can dig it out as I believe it was in a year book.
The letter/COA attached to the bat is very strange and may be considered and eye sore to some.
HB in the old days used to display real gamers in stores and used to attach documentation like that to those bats and this Straw reminded me of this practice.

Suave1477,
What did you notice that was off/different about the Strawberry jersey. I've purchased from b-e before and would like to compare notes either on or off the forum with you.

Swoboda all you have to do is do a quick search there was recently a big thread on the Strawberry Jersey and I believe other Jerseys that they sold that was questionable.
I believe it would be in the Auction category.

Suave,
The 86 Mets commerative prints that were given out at the 86 Mets National Pastime Reunion shows in the ninties shows Strawberry using a Rawlings with the handle taped.
I looked all over for this photo (yearbooks, cards) as I distinctly remember see this taped bat and it was hanging on my wall all this time!
Enjoy!
