1983-84 Oakland Athletics Help Needed

[markfd]

I purchased this bat and this jersey several years ago and I'm not even sure where I got them, probably Ebay but I am looking some help of what I have here.


First, I have a 1983 Garry Hancock A's road jersey, no whether is it legit or game used I have no idea.

Second, I have a 1983 or 1984 Garry Hancock model bat, I say that because he wore #11 for the 1983 and 1984 Oakland Athletics and besides the Elite hologram on the knob the thing that makes me think what do I have is that it appears there is also a #15 on the knob of the bat, which in both 1983 and 1984 was worn by Davey Lopes. Any one have any thoughts on whether this is a Hancock or Lopes GU bat?

Thoughts about value I have no idea what these are worth? I just bought it because for some reason I liked Garry when he was a member of the A's when I was a kid.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The jersey look fine for an 1983, although the gold stitching in the Rawlings tag seems odd. Most of the Rawlings tags I have seen like that have either black or white lettered stitching. I'm not a bat guy, so can't help you there. I remeber Hancock when he was with the Red Sox organization.

The odd-colored sticthing is't comon for the era for Rawlings, but it does occasionally happen. The Hancock jersey looks fine....that style was bulk bought in the 1990s by Hartel Sports.

Thanks for the comments on the jersey, any thoughts on the bat? Could it be 11's instead of 11 and 15?
