Autograph Bat Handling
I have a autographed game used bat that I need to pack up to mover to my new home. I currently dont have a bat tube of any sort. I want to put in a shipping tube to move it, but am afraid the autograph will rub off. Would it hurt it to wrap the autograph in saran wrap? What do you guys do?

A long athletic sock (soccer sock, sanitary sock, etc) will work fine for the move....

Re: Autograph Bat Handling
I recently move all of my 200 plus bats, the ones that were autographed and NOT in tubes, I wrapped Cling Wrap (saran wrap) around the part that was signed. Not a autograph was damaged...

Re: Autograph Bat Handling
I would not wrap it in saran wrap. I had someone ship me an autographed GU bat and they saran wrapped it - parts of the autograph lifted from the bat. AND I never bought anything from ESM again...

Re: Autograph Bat Handling
I know of dealers who have put socks on autographed bats.

Re: Autograph Bat Handling
Another possibility the bat could have sat in a truck in the Florida heat/humidity before shipping or what Metsbats said.
Another thing it could have been the type of ink pen used?????
Or it could have been banged against another bat or something else???
I have received bats from dealers both ways, with socks and saran wrap.
