    Did I photomatch this properly? Stanton Bat

    I waited a while to get accepted to the site, so hopefully some of you don't mind me reposting a thread from another forum. More opinions the better.
    ______________
    Hi, I picked up a GU Stanton Marrucci Bat from a Marlins tent sale last week (9/19/12).

    The MLB Authentication code comes back to September 4th, 2012 (a game I went to by the way) as a 6th inning single off of Shawn Marcum.

    The bat is broken, and the single was a broken bat bloop single to CF.

    He used the same bat in the second inning from what I belive I photomatched (Strikeout) and....

    a Fourth Inning HR to CF. (I believe I photomatched the knob)

    I also have a self photo I took, of the 6th inning at bat. In addition, I have a photo of the swing where it broke too.

    Here's what I have, let me know what you guys think. I wish I could buy that Getty Image I posted, which is of the HR swing.

    On another note, I've since removed the tape, and it did not leave any residue or remove the pine tar. I found the bat is cracked, but it is in one piece.

    Thanks and enjoy the pix!

    EDIT: I was able to find a high resolution getty image of his 4th inning HR, i've included that.

    Since I can't edit my original post- I just noticed I should include this:

    The arrows in the last image point to an "Accent" added over the M, there is also a white line to the left of it on my bat you can barely make out in the getty image- I just noticed it now so the picture isn't updated.

    Let me know if you are ever trying to unload the bat. I would love to have it.

    nice job. one thing you could do is divide 1A into more circles For example you could have a separate circle for the prominent cleat mark at the top of the circle and another for the huge ball mark and work your way down. nice work with the numbering of the circle tho. havent seen that before and it make it easier to follow when switching photos.

    some of the gettyphotos are too far to assist in a photomatch imho.

    CFern, e-mail me on what it would take to loosen your grip on that bat. I have been looking for MLB auth Stanton or Trout bat. I would pay crazy money.
