Value of Pujols game used bat

[Soonerfan65]

Hey need some help on the value of a Pujols game used bat; I got it from a Heroes of Sport All Sport redemption and it comes with a PSA/DNA authentication letter. The letter states the following: Manufacturer: Tuff Bats (X) Model Number 24 Labeling Period 2003 Length 34 inches Weight 33.6 ounces Wood Maple Finish Standard
Details: uncracked, excellent use, Player number 5 on the knob and top barrel. The PSA/DNA authentication number is 1B05063. Thanks. john

Oh boy after doing a quick search on here i'm afraid that the bat is not legit because It has the Dominican flag on the handle; info came from Birdbats so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would sure appreciate it. Thanks. John

Likely a store model. Sorry for the bad news.

You're likely going to spend anywhere from 1800-3500. Depending on provenance and characteristics.

This is my newest one which is MLB authenticated and photo matched to a home run , probably two of the more expensive traits.

Ok thanks for the info.

From the website of Albert's charitable organization (see page 3):

There has been discussion in the past about PSA authenticated Pujols bats on this forum.

As the poster stated, his bat was authenticated by PSA. The results from the PSA database are shown below.

Review the results, then read the information from Albert's own website, and draw your own conclusions. An unfortunate situation for the poster, but hopefully others can learn from it.

Can anyone link me to the discussion on the psa pujols bat discussion? Thsnks i will post pics tonight

[Soonerfan65]

Here is the only pic I have at the moment; when I find my camera I will take better pics. There is red paint at the end of the barrel like there should be; cleat marks at various spots; very little pine tar but there is some there; blue transfer marks at various spots; the number 5 is written on both the bat knob and the barrel. I talked to John Taube tonight and he stands by his opinion that its real and he also told me he had never heard that the bats with the Dominican flags were not gamers and were just retail models. Thanks. John

I'm not sure as to whether Pujols used an x bat with the Dominican flag, but other players did use the bats with flags on them....
