Carl Yastrzemski bat on E-bay

[justinlm24]

What would be a reasonable price to pay for this bat? My high bid is is $300 which will more than likely get out bid. Was just curious what would be "too much".

I think that is a reasonable amount to bid although I am sure it will go over. I personally if I were to bid on a Yaz bat I would prefer an earlier one preferably from the 78 season but thats just me.

Well I'm not looking to spend a lot on a Yaz. I'm just a red sox fan and would like to add one to my collection. If that makes sense.

Also I noticed John Taube has a Yaz from 1980 on his site selling for $1300. This bat is 80-83. So I figure no more then $400 will I pay for it.

Then if thats the case its a must to get this one, if your a Red Sox fan you definitely need a Yaz in the collection.

Here is a previous thread you should review to help in making your decision.

Also, note that the 32 1/2 inch length is at least 1 1/2 inches shorter than Yaz ever ordered, and most of his gamers were 36 inches at the end of his career. This bat is very uncharacteristic in length and Model of Yaz' ordering patterns as documented in his factory records.

Good Luck in future collecting.

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.

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??

I am just curious, and my question would be based on no authenticity issues with Broadway Rick's bat you are asking about, but how do you determine that you would pay $400.00 for this item based on John Taube selling a similar item for $1300.00?

I am always trying to figure out how people determine prices to pay for items based on other items being sold in the marketplace so your thoughts would be neat to determine this process.

So are you implying this bat is probably not authentic? If not I wont waste my money. I'm new to older bat collecting.....let me know.
