Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?
If you are talking about the HOF Frank Robinson. There is one problem with the bat. It says Vanderbilt University on the bat and Frank Robinson went to Xavier.

Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?
Yeah, I checked into Frank Robinson's history and noticed that. So can anyone at least tell me if this is a game used bat? Or can anyone tell me why this bat says 'Vanderbilt University"?
Thoughts?

P.S. Yes, I'm talking about the legendary Hall of Famer, Frank Robinson who played for the Cincinnati Reds during his rookie year in 1956.

College bat. Colleges could order professional grade bats with MLB players names on them but would have their Schools name burned below the signatue on the barrel. A nice mint example such as a Frank Robinson may fetch $100 more or less.

Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?
It doesn't matter. Frank wouldn't have had a signature model bat contract in college, so it would be worth nothing more if it said Xavier on it. Even in good condition, the bat would not sell for too much ... but in this poor condition, the bat is not worth much of anything

sprotscentury: If that's the case then is it possible to sell this for at least $5.00-$15.00?
Otherwise, should we look into Frank Robinson's history a little bit more to determine whether he used a bat like this?
Thoughts anyone? I still think more research will be helpful. Although, Frank Robinson went to Xavier University, perhaps someone can shed light on whether or not he went to Vanderbilt?
Anyone?

Again, it would make no difference. He didn't use this bat. Originally Posted by Antonio D.

Re: FRANK ROBINSON Game USED or Professional Model Bat?
Ant - you seem very very concerned about what you can sell all of these bats for. Here is an idea....put them on Ebay and find out.
