Andrew,
hello again. i have a Soriano bat ebay auction i was hoping you could look at if possible. in fact, there are 2 seperate auctions.
the first bat is a LS M9 genuine M356. the sellers description has it listed as 2007, but i think it's just a typo. my 1st problem is the total lack of handle tape. i have never seen a soriano bat without it - even batting practice bats. next is his number (#12) written on the barrel end. it is very thick, and almost looks to be something under the 12, but not production info. i know we have talked about the M9's before, and you have some, so what do you think. i emailed the seller, and this was his response:
"Hello
There is no COA but I can tell you that a very good friend works fo the Nationals and all my Baseball stuff comes directly from the room. I have had a number of them over the years and most have tape but others I have had do not.
Thanks"
here is the link for the first one:
the second ebay auction is for a 2008 soriano sam bat. there were a few things that stood out to me on this one. first is, i have seen a few bats have a tight tape job on the handle, but never like this. i looked at all my sori bats, and none were this tight. next is the lack of pine tar. the bat looks well used so i would expect much more pine tar. finally is the number 38 on the barrel end with the production info. i have a 2007, and 2008 soriano bat, and there is no #38 on either. as carlos zambranos jersey is 38, is it possible he used it? if not, why would that be on soriano's bat? not to mention the bat looks too heavily used to have been zambrano's bat. i contacted the seller, but can't find the email he sent me. he did assure me it was real. here is the link for the second bat:
as always, thanks for your help. your insight is greatly appreciated.

can you describe the use? how many ink transfers, seam impressions? i can't see much from the pics you posted. is it cracked/uncracked? also, can you post/send me pics of the back/left barrel? what is the production info? ok, thanks for the extra info.
