Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com
The seller won't answer my question regarding the length and weight of this bat.
I can't get past this statement in my Malta book. "Numerous K55 model bats with a natural finsih, and flame burned B267 bats, were sold to sporting goods suppliers, made without regard to weight."
But 10% goes to charity.SCOTT

Re: Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com
There are many things that worry me about the bats he has listed. I'm not saying they are not legit but I do have some concerns. Soriano he has listed is not right, theres no way he used it in a game...it shows no characteristics all of his gamers show. Griffey is missing the classic tape job. I know he didnt always use it but you would like to see it to feel more comfortable. The Mcgwire's pine tar isn't what I would call comforting either it just doesnt look right especially around the handle. Overall I'm not sure about them actually using them in games but they all seem to be legit game model bats. The Waner and Sandberg both concern me for being even player models...Any one else have any thoughts?

Re: Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com
I know hes a forum member here, for he promotes his auctions often on here and through emails.
The Galarraga bat, I dont see the "exceptional game use". Perhaps pictures of the "heavy coat of tar extending down the midsection of the handle", would help.
The Tim Raines bat, what is on the knob, a 13? Why isnt this part of the description?

Re: Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com

Re: Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com
I love the fact that they are charity auctions and he is only donating 10% to charity. Seems like a stretch to me. Don't get me wrong, donations are great, but I think the intention here is to get much higher prices since they are "charity" auctions and then only donate 10%.

Re: Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com
While something is better than nothing, it does seem a little sketchy for me as well. WhatI am seeing is the lesser valued bats look great like the Bret Boone...but then the high value bats are ALL very questionable looking...theres not one that I can look at and say yep that has great characteristics.

Re: Sandberg Bat - Charitybats.com
Agreed. One rotten apple spoils the bunch.
I was excited to see the Sandberg, because I really want to add a LVS to my collection. But if I can't get the seller to at least tell me the length of the bat, NO WAY am I going to bid. Who doesn't have a tape measure?
Funny how questions about shipping and where he got the bat (although vaguely) were answered.SCOTT
