HEY OUT THERE ,


WHATS THE BEST BAT AUTHENTICATOR OUT THERE ??

PSA ?? MEARS ??


DO I NEED ONE FOR A MODERN GAME-USED BAT ??

GRADED ??



THANKS , EVERYONE

My own opinion is that modern game used bats usually speak for themselves based on model and use characteristics from the player in question. Is this a bat you are looking to buy? Sell? How big a ticket item is it? These are factors that would likely go into this decision.

Oops

MEARS LOA's are very detailed. PSA is also good.

if you are going to seriously collect game used bats???

you need to learn yourself .....

also you have the forum members for assistance......

especially on older bats, the forum is a great place.... plus it will save you, your money....

HELLO,
I WOULD NEVER PAY SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY BATS AND TELL ME IF THERE GOOD OR NOT. IF YOU DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT. I HAVE CLOSE TO 300 GAME USED BATS AND I ONLY HAVE ONE BAT THAT IS GRADED. I BOUGHT THE BAT FROM SOMEONE HOW HAD IT GRADED. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE, DO THE WORK YOURSELF. WITH THE MONEY YOU SAVE BY DOING IT YOUR SELF YOU COULD GO OUT AND BUY ANOTHER BAT.
THANKS,
JAMIE

In addition to the access to factory records, the supplemental resources available to any specific authenticator or authentication company is important such as a large photo-library, etc. More important, however, is what information is provided in each autnenticator's LOAs. .. What you will find is that axross-the-board, the letters written today are much more informative and specific than the letters written just two or three years ago.

Good Luck
