ok, i have just completed one of the easiest transactions of my collecting career. on friday 11/21/08, i made an offer on an alfonso soriano game used rangers bat to Tim of HOF bats. it was around 4pm, and the offer was accepted less than 10 minutes later. i made payment right away, and true to his word, the bat was here today - not even 3 full days later!! needeless to say i collect soriano, and this bat was amazing. what's better was the communication, and customer service provided by Tim. ok, so many could care less, but at a time when so many posts are not pleasant, recognition needed to be given. Tim is EXCELLENT to deal with, and if you have not indulged, i FULLY recommend him. pics of the bat can be seen below.

on a similar note, kyle hess is a great young guy with a tremendous talent for the photomatch (ok, everyone knows that). he is currently working on several projects for me, and i want to say THANKS. he is fast, and knows his stuff. not only do i not have the time to photomatch something myself, but i am pathetic when it comes to photoshop, etc. it is nice to know guu forum collectors will not only post advice for you, but take their own time to help. for the many people who have helped me (andrew lang has been huge) - THANK YOU.

now that the love fest is over, check out the amazing new bat which came photomatched to 7/17/2005. soriano was 3 for 5 with a home run....
