hi, this is my first time posting on this forum...i post periodically on Net54. glad i was told about this forum, it's great!

i am the owner of this ARod HR #526 Bat. just wanted to say, the bat is spectacular, and is so well documented (PSA/DNA 9.5, Full JSA LOA, LOA from ARod, etc). it was acquired directly from ARod's representative.

regarding the minor crack through the center brand, i debated long & hard on having it repaired, and at the end of the day, it was such a minor crack that i felt it would present better being repaired (knowing full-well it would be properly mentioned in Taube's LOA). and in doing so, it went from a 9 to a 9.5, which i thought made the money & effort to repair the crack, worth it. if anyone has any questions let me know, the reserve was just to protect my investment, and i will say that it's below $4500.

thank you for looking, best of luck!
