Jose Canseco 1998 Cooper Bat - Signed

[cjosefy]

I have a 1998 Jose Canseco Cooper bat. It is signed and has a small handle crack. The bat was originally purchased from Jim Yackel. I will include his COA with the bat.

This is a very rare Canseco bat as Cooper production was extremely small in this time frame. Here is what Mike Specht says about this era of Cooper bats:

More than 99.9 % of all Cooper bats were manufactured between 1986 and 1996, with much-reduced (virtually non-existant) production in 1997 and 1998. It is likely that the rarely-seen Cooper "uncircled" logo is evidenced on bats produced following the operational move to the new plant, between sometime in 1996 to 1998, which would explain the rarity of those examples based on overall production numbers.

See pictures below, including one of Canseco using a similar bat in 1998. The price is $325. Please email for more pictures if you are interested.

I figured I'd post some more detailed pictures here since a few people have asked for them. Also, I am looking at ALL OFFERS for this bat. Please make one!

I'd like to get this into the hands of someone who'd enjoy it more than I do. It just doesn't fit my collection.

New price is $250 OBO.

Also, I would trade this bat for Brad Ausmus, Tony Eusebio, or Chris Burke items.
