Gregory Polanco GU bat

[dteters]

Looking to see if anyone could help me out with the value of this. It is from this spring training with his #62 on both ends of the bat.

Re: Gregory Polanco GU bat

Not outright dismissing the bat, but it might be a very tough sell, since this picture, which has a bat in Polanco's hand, shows the "62" written in a completely different (and a lot less "drawn") style of writing:

This looks more like the OP's bat

Thanks PAC. "62" on the bat you posted looks like the one I found, so that reinforces the notion that OP's bat likely wasn't marked as a gamer.

Here is a pic from this year in Indy where he is using a Chandler bat.

The OPs also lacks pine tar from what I can see. The two gamers others posted have pine tar

OP: As Travis pointed out, the two Spring Training bats both show pine tar, as does the bat you showed from Indy. No one mentioned anything about the bat brand, but that's another notion to consider. Based upon what's posted in the thread, so far, I'd say your bat likely isn't a gamer.

Thanks for the information.

Hey Dteters, your bat can easily be a legit gamer. There is not much info on Polanco's characteristics yet.
I have no idea what his bats are worth but I'm sure you can get someone to over pay for it and pick up a nice Cutch bat if you're a Pirates fan.

Re: Gregory Polanco GU bat

Polanco doesn't write his "2" like the OP's bat, though, and it looks very slowly drawn, which would be completely uncharacteristic for an equipment manager to do. Even if the bat was a legit Polanco gamer, the 62s were likely added by someone else.

Not enough info to form an opinion one way or the other. It's possible this is how he writes and the other bats were written by someone else. It's possible he writes numbers differently. For instance I collect Josh Hamilton and he has a few distinct ways he writes his "2's"...sometimes with a loop sometimes completely opposite with the exact opposite of a loop.
