Does this matter to you?
If a pounded bat were not authenticated for a hit, it might take down the value for me. But not by much, if it could be conclusively matched to other games. I'm not big on bats unless they are pounded with use, and if that's the case, it's likely the player got a hit with the bat. The biggest thing with bats for me is the use. And if it barely had any, I would not want it.
