Thing that get me started with BAT collection - a simple shatter barrell landed in the stand, that almost cracked my skull!

And for those who cares .. or not, it's a NO-NAMER... damn, I would have been happier if it was somebody, but hey it's my very first game used bat!

Over the years, I gathered all variations, broken barrell, cracked bat, uncracked bat (dont know if they are really uncracked since there are professional sealer out there - that would make a cracked bat looks uncracked even under microscope), club house bat, player model bat and even stadium give-away bat.

If I have a choice and the price is right, I preferred CRACKED bat - by the handle is my first choice and missing part on the barrell is my second (as long as the name is still intact of course).

I like ton-of-used bat also, but it is not as much fun since it is not easy to crack a bat unless you are Bo Jackson. So for it to be cracked, the strength you have to put in just to make that happened!



And what the heck are people buying ... broken handle with Number written on the knob? I dont get it!
