I don't believe that adding the Powerized label to a Bicentennial bat is likely, as the normal branding seen in 1976 did not have enough space to the right of the centerbrand to allow for Powerized

Sorry, should have been more clear. I was trying to say what if some stamped the Bicentennial logo onto the bats.

Mike:
You did a good job communicating the thoughts that were running through my head last week.......
Show me a Jack Brohamer or an Ed Goodson and I may think otherwise, but it seemed awfully odd that the presence of the Powerized labeling appeared to be skewed toward the star players...

Mike,
We've this type of doctoring of unused modern day era players to "game used" bats alot. This is the first time I've seen a vintage bat go thru the this cycle and actually flagged. Great job!
As an aside John Taube told me there may be 1976 bats without the BiCentennial stamps too. He indicated the only way to verify this is a bat will have to match a unique order in 1976 and not have the liberty bell stamp.
One would have to assume that this variation if they truly exist would be ultra-rare.
Thanksmetsbats86@aol.com

Good point, and it was blatantly obvious.
But absent the time to do the proper research done here by the "Deep Fly Ball" mystery guest, one just has to keep his mouth shut.
Mike, incredibly helpful display of how it's done.
Chalk up another addition to the "Exceptionally Educational Threads".....it's a keeper.

Now the question is -- can the person who got taken with the bad Bench bat get his money back?

Re: ‘Powerized’ Branding Variation on 1976 H & B Bicentennial Bats --- What ???
What a great thread. I've seen one bench bat that has both powerized and the bicenttenial logo...but the bat literally had no use. I asked the seller if it was guarenteed to pass PSA or Mears and they said ABSOLUTELY. I just didn't feel comfortable with it....
