David - All the proceeds from the bats will go to:

Proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation

That foundation is a 501c3 Charitable Foundation so any buyer will be able to take a charitable deduction on their taxes above the fair market value of the bat.

Someone who pays $2,100 for this bat and say they claim $2,000 as a charitable deduction is probably at $1,200 to $1,400 in real cash dollars for the bat and is helping a great cause!!! I hope the bats go higher (except for the ones I bid on ).

I agree it's a great cause. Didn't realize the buyer can take a tax deduction. I may even bid now. Thanks for that info.

Check out the Beltran Old Hickory bat. It looks partially painted. I know Louisville Slugger backed the promotion so this should be rare.

Felipe Lopez is the Hickory type bat as well. They are painted with a much lighter pink than the Louisville Slugger bats from this program. Do the Hickory even have the MLB logo breast cancer ribbon on them?

anyone see how much the derek jeter bat went for?
