Consider this bat to be photo-matched? Opinions?

Bobby - where did you get that helmet anyway? I'm guessing Steiner?

Skyking,

I got it from Steiner, would like to have picked up Manny's beat up-pine tarred helmet but Manny kept it. This was the next best thing, I had it matched before I purchased.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
And Rob thanks again for making it a LOT clearer.
Joecoco, thanks for the info about the rosin/pine tar.
From what I have seen you have the best Mientky bats around, I don't think any of mine are as good as yours, I'm just happy to have a few solid ones.
It's a great reflection on you that you collect Mientky bats yet you are so unselfish and classy that you can be happy for another collector. I feel the same about your stuff you have posted before, I am happy for you that you have them as I know you have consistently looked for the best ones for some time so you deserve them.
If I ever need to sell this one, and you are interested, I will e-mail you first.
Thanks.

Mike

Wow Mike- Thanks a lot for the kind words! Beleive me, I feel the same way about your bats as well It is a funny thing with this hobby as you really have to put in the time and patience looking for a piece for it to pay off. 9Unless you have crazy team-connections, which I can only dream about!) I guess that is what makes those moments so special when you get a bat you really want! Keep up the pics of your collection as it is always nice to see a hammered Mienty gamer like yours Thanks for keeping me in mind too- happy collecting to all - Joe Cocozzella
