Re: Carl Yastrzemski bat on E-bay
At this point, I think the real question relates to authenticity. I know nothing about Yaz stuff, but I'd want a solid answer to the measurement discrepancies, not to mention other stuff, like if his number is on the knob (if it should be), if the wear is normal, are the balls marks consistent with those of a left-handed hitter, etc. At any rate, Mike makes a pretty good point here. If this bat isn't authentic, then even $20 is too much. Now quick, you have three hours to do your research.

Re: Carl Yastrzemski bat on E-bay
I have bought several bats from John. I'm not saying he sells for more than the value, I meant he sells them for a profit, not just market value. He clearly makes a profit. I've trusted John for many years and have used him for many items, as well to answer many questions. I'm just trying to figure out if this one in questions is authentic or not. You are right, it's not worth $400 if it is not authentic and I would not buy it. I'm just saying I don't want to spend $1300 for a bat. I only have a few bats in my collection. I collect other game used items. That is why I'm asking so many questiuons. I want to be sure. But just because it is selling so low does not mean it isn't authentic. Bats vary in price from the same player based on year and many other factors.

Re: Carl Yastrzemski bat on E-bay
I tried to post on the Yaz K48 bat thread but could not. According to the thread K 48 Yaz bats are suspect. I just happened to have one that was sent to PSA/DNA who sent me a LOA that on 03/07/83 Yaz ordered 12 K48 model bats. This does not jive on some of the other experts on the this site. Any clarification/help??

Re: Carl Yastrzemski bat on E-bay
A review of Yaz's records show four orders of K48 model bats during the 80 - 83 labeing period including the March 7, 1983 order you referenced. Unfortunately, all four of those orders were to Baseball Miscellaneous which are usually considered promotional orders. There are no K48 model orders directly to Yaz or the Red Sox post 1980. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks, Jim

Jim,
Thanks so much for your post. Your expertise in this matter is appreciated. I have included a scan of the PSA/DNA letter. I assume you disagree with the findings of the LOA? Thanks again for anything you may have to add on this topic.

Re: Carl Yastrzemski bat on E-bay
I am waiting for the obvious question here on this bat, and so I will ask it. When are miscellaneous orders NOT "usually considered promotional orders"? On what evidence are we basing this assessment?
