Old Louisville slugger decal bats circa 1911-1916

[yanks12025]

The Speaker is from 1910-15, while the other two are 1916-1921. I really don't know what they are worth, i seen acouple Collins decals go for around $250-$500, and i think the Speaker would be $500+.

The Collins is in very poor shape and probably won't get over $100.
Based on what I have come accross in my research on conversations with highly regarding experts in the field the Tris is worth much more than $500.

I know it's worth more than $500 thats why i put $500+.

The bats all look in great condition aside from the Collins decal. Length of the bats also help to determine value, typically the longer the more valuable, all else being equal. Are you looking to sell?
If so, drop me a note. mm7dj75@hotmail.com

I would strongly suggest being careful with decal bats. I have seen a load of fakes turn up in the past 3 years or so. You should post those images on the vintage card collectors site. You will get a lot better info there for this particular topic. I know they have had discussions on this before.

Very good point Chris. A lot of decal bats have been restored as well, which can be nice, just aint my cup of tea.

So if the decal looks super nice, you really need to check it closely for a restoration job too.
