Re: Derek Jeter bat on eBay
Does Steiner Sports sell Jeter bats without a Hologram sticker?

Not an expert on bats but it looks like a batting practice bat with the all the tape residue on it. The bat also looks like is flaking ? bad... another indication of a bat thats been used a ton.

Re: Derek Jeter bat on eBay
I'm not seeing tape residue either, just the leather from baseballs contacting the bat and transfering.

Re: Derek Jeter bat on eBay
Id bet 100 bucks its tape
It looks to coarse to be ball transfer.
I could be wrong
Not at all trying to question the bat or be negative about it , it just looked all to familiar to me from all the tape Ive taking off my bats over the years .

Re: Derek Jeter bat on eBay
LOL
Im not kidding , I really do think its tape ... i am going to have to conduct an experiment . Black bat - check , balls - check , tape - check , someone to throw 90 ... ugh oh
Or maybe I should just keep my mouth shut and stick to my expertise , the baseball . However ...a ball did hit the bat so ...
I will be back later with my results of the test ( this may take a while )

Re: Derek Jeter bat on eBay
I have never seen Jeter tape his bats for BP. I have had a Jeter bat with a very similar white leather scuffing that was 100% a baseball as there was a space in the middle of it with a few seam marks imprinted. That bat was perfectly photo matched to that mark and other marks on the bat.
As far as the bat on eBay it did come from Steiner as I was offered it back in 08 and remember it because of the chipped handle. It was one of the better 08s they received that season.
I had another 08 bat with no hologram and at the time was told if it wasn't signed they didn't have a hologram placed on the bat. For my 09 I requested that the hologram be placed on the end of the bat to at least show the bat came from Jeter via Steiner as otherwise you could take a non Steiner Jeter and pair it with the Jeter loa.
