It has a Mears LOA, but the description is unclear. Shameful how these auction houses hedge their representations. With the picture in the catalogue, they certainly imply that it's a game used Mantle bat. Asking $3,000-$4,000.
According to the MEARS #d sticker the final grade of the bat is an A8. They are not asking $3-4K it is the estimate. Probably due to the restoration work.
