Mac Bat
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...%3DI%26otn%3D1
Zane Burns usually has really good stuff. Not saying this isn't legit but it is very interesting because the tar patterns don't reflect normal patterns for a Mac bat. The other odd thing, look at the PSA/DNA website Authen tication comments on this bat.
PSA/DNA Authentication Services it is our opinion that the signature(s) is/are genuine. According to the Certification Database, this item is defined as follows:
Item: BAT
Primary Signer: MARK MCGWIRE
Authentication Date: 05/27/2008
Result/Grade: Authentic
Notes: Model Number: MAC 25, Length: 34.5 in., Weight: 32.7 oz., Wood: Ash, Wood Finish: Natural, Labeling period: 2000, and Condition: Uncracked, Written Identification: Ounces Marked. Use Attributes: Inconsistent Use. Autograph: None.
It is marked as authentic however it lists Use Attributes as Inconsistent Use. I am guessing this is due to the tar patterns? Very odd on this one.Brett Herman

Re: Mac Bat
My thoughts on this one are that the bat was prepared for game use by Mac but not used in actual games by him. It appears to be a legitimate Mac bat, it has correct factory markings, knob handwriting, centerbrand tar, and overall prep one would expect on a Mac bat -- however, I don't see the handle tar, nor do I see significant use if any at all (just rack marks and/or black streaks caused by a black bat scraping against it).
I would class this as a game issued McGwire bat and price it somewhere in the $500-600 range.Looking for ...

Re: Mac Bat
Agreed... legit bat, but not Mac's pine tar pattern. Also notice the ink transfer on the bottom/left-hand hitter's side. Wouldn't expect a ball mark there on one of Mac's bats.

Re: Mac Bat
For the record, those aren't my bats. Only the 7th one down is mine, though I did once own the 3rd and 5th ones down. The one you mentioned, Andrew, belongs to my friend George; he got it at auction from LaRussa's ARF. It is, indeed, a sweet bat.
FYI, the 6th bat is in Cooperstown and the 8th bat is in the Cards' HOF/museum. The top two belong to a team official; I repaired them and took shots while I had them in my possession.Jeff Scott

Re: Mac Bat
The 2000 Mac Bat listed on Ebay looks like the knob has been sanded flat. This is a Red Flag for me anyway...I agreee as well, not too many ball marks on the Left Hitters side from Macs later Career.
