This guy as a fraud and every item he sells is no good. He is calling one bat game used by Lou Gehrig because the barrel end it cut like what gehrig used sometimes. lol

Check out post # 20 to link to this site current ( ??)., These guys have been long known , maybe 10 years or so) of taking some bat, any bat -- souvie, store, firewood anything and pass it off as GU... Actually they don't try to pass it off very well, as their stories about each bat are not intelligent and in fact downright stupid, along the lines of "I got this Lou Gehrig bat from an alien who crashed his spaceship in Yankee Stadium"...also I remember once the guy floated the story that he communicated with Lou Gehrig through a medium and was told by Lou that the bat was real....

I know this guy has been covered a ton but I just read this description for a Babe Ruth bat and laughed several times. He bought it from Goldin Auctions for $1,000 and now has it at $250,000.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1946-49-Babe-Ruth-William-Bendix-Used-Model-R43-Bat-Rare-Historical-Ruth-Bat-/322013576082?hash=item4af9813b92:g:xu0AAOSwFqJWmB1Z

The best part, apparently his authentication knew Ruth used this bat before even examining it in person.:

Something still did not sit right with me, I had this feeling deep in my stomach that said buy this bat or you will regret it.

I have to admit I felt a bit confused, so much so I becoming depressed. I hate that feeling when there is nowhere or no one to turn to for answers.

I stopped for a few minutes, got a cup of coffee and started thinking.

Then I realized how stupid can I be, I happen to know the master of game used bats, gloves, antiques, rare artifacts, high priest of the council of the federation of light ok lol now I’m going to far but you get the point.

I contacted the person who authenticates all my bats and I told him about this bat, he saw it and said “Ruth used it for sure” and that once I have it in my possession he will tell me more.

If you want to go down memory lane and end up in Crazy Town, take a read of this thread...

Then go to post 26 where Joel captured some of the Q & A from the "Gehrig gamer" listed on eBay, here is a little sample...and it gets better.

"Q: Would you be willing to accept $125k for this? Feb-16-10
A: I WILL NOT ACCEPT A PENNY NOT UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHY YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR THIS BAT. BESIDES YOU HAVE NOT ASKED ME A QUESTION ON THIS BAT PLEASE DO SO ANY KIND OF QUESTION. PROVIDING YOU ARE BOTH WELL INFORMED ON WHAT THIS BAT IS AND A LEGITIMATE BUSSINESS PERSON THEN THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL IT ALWAYS DOES. THANK YOU"

Now that I've seen his auctions, I am now questioning the authenticity of my son's Spiderman cards...

Re: Check out this Bench "Gamer" Wow..just wow

Haha I lost it when I read this :

I showed this bat around to everybody when I first got it, and when I say everybody, I mean everybody.

They all said the same thing, to get rid of it, that its nothing more than an average old store model bat.

I almost threw it out with the trash one day and so when I’m getting ready to put the garbage out that day,

my TV was on loud enough for me to hear it and till this day I don’t know what was on, but I heard it say “STOP GEHRIG”.

This got my attention, so I did the only thing I knew left to do, I took this bat to “the authenticator” meaning the one and only true authenticator,

which by the way he hates being called an expert. He calls himself a student of life and says he is a good teacher

because he remains a good student and that the moment one stops being a good student he then becomes a bad teacher.



He said, "This bat was used by both Wally Pipp and Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees".

Now that sounds nut’s right, that’s what I thought when he said that.

I never heard of 2 known pro players using the same bat and why would they.

So naturally I’m curious and I said prove it, because I did not believe him, but he took no offense

and showed me a photo of Wally Pipp in 1923 using this “exact identical bat” while with the Yankees.

Re: Check out this Bench "Gamer" Wow..just wow

I'm convulsing after reading his explanation of the names on the bat : The authenticator said, "The barrel has someone else’s name stamped on it in block letters “FOHLER”

and its clear this was done in the 1930s or there after based on the size and shape of the letters".

He also showed me this bat is sidewritten "4-8-1925 PAUL SUERH" an unknown player.



So I said “Then this bat went through 2 more hands besides Pipp and Gehrig”, this is what I thought.

But the authenticator said “No, that’s not what happened here, it appears in this case that on

4-8-1925 Lou Gehrig mailed this bat to Hillerich&Bradsby Louisville Slugger

for duplication with an extra-large out of the ordinary mail in paper label and used an assumed name like "PAUL SUERH" to do so.

He did this to avoid detection from other teams including the press being that by

1925 he was by now officially playing full time with the New York Yankees becoming their new secret weapon".
