I couldn't agree more.

I have gained more knowledge on Albert Pujols bats because of the people on this forum that I actually feel more comfortable going on my own instinct rather than someone independent.

Someone on here will be able to verify the model number, as well as the characteristics. There are people on here that even know the hand writing consistency on knobs of bats.

Why risk something happening to your item when you can do your own research. However, if you were I would go with Taube and Malta at PSA/DNA. But I totally agree with the independent rout.
