    Question about Lincecum All-Star Bat

    Quick question I'm hoping someone can help out with. I was recently given what seems to be a pretty cool Tim Lincecum bat from 2008 All-Star Game. I do have a question about it though.

    The bat is clearly not for game use. Underlined 125 and whatnot. My question is where does it come from? Are commemorative bats issued to players (and if so how many?), or can any yokel go to the Fanfest and have their own player bat made? Seems like different typeface than I've seem for the customizable bats, but I really don't know. Any information someone might have would be very appreciated.

    As an aside, I am desperate for an uncracked Lincecum game used (or game issued) bat. Willing to pay market value for it, should someone want to sell one. Thanks.

          This is my opinion, but Ive seen bats like this before & I think they are sovie/retail bats made up for events like world series & all-star games to be sold in retail shops & such.
          always looking for Detroit Tiger world series player bats......game used 2006 & 2012 world series items....Quintin Berry bats....also interested in Ivan Rodriguez bats...
          Thank you, Dale

              I think Dale is exactly right.

                  Well by going by what BMH said they stopped making these bats for the players a few years back.

                  I was at the All Star fan fest and BMH.Louisville Slugger was there and I believe you were able to buy bats and have them engraved for yourself.

                  So either one of these 2 things most likely happened in my opinion.

                  1) This was a blank All Star Commerative bat and someone most likely had it engraved with Lincecums name on it.

                  or

                  2) These were pre made for retail sale most likely at the all star fanfest or at some point/place during the all star game.

                  But of course BMH would be able to give you the best answer.

                      That makes sense. Thanks very much for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
