HELP! Input on buying some game used bats.

**stealth** · 01-25-2010, 04:54 PM

Hello! Though I not new to collecting, I don't know much about how much some game used bats may go for or what kind of value they will have in the future.

In attaching some photos of some bats a local guy is selling. I need some input on which items would be good deals to buy from him and just a ball park figure of what the bat is worth.

I thank you in advance for any input and help you can give me!

theres a nelson fox bat that says flamed tempered. that would be a store model bat.

the griffey 1996 H&B Bicentennial Bat is a good demand bat because of the special stamp.

I would read this thread:

I would be interested to know what some of these bats are too. What is a bat that says "Pro treated". Looks like a store model bat.

Is the seller passing all of these off as game used? They are almost all store models, if you could attach pictures of the knobs it'd help.

The Sammy Sosa bat is a commemorative bat.

Dependignon what you are or are not buying, I am interested in better pics of the Hank Bauer bat. Looks like it's autographed as well.

Forgot one more thing. Educate me a little. How can I tell apart real game used bats from non used. I love collecting but could use some help on identifying whether bats are gamers or not. Thanks!

You look for things like ball marks, leather transfers, rack marks, seam impressions, etc

I am not a bat expert so I will not opine on the authenticity of the bats but the image dates are over 2.5 years ago so I would ask for more recent pics alot can happen to items in that time.
