Derek Jeter Early 2000's Game Used Bat question!!

[PlayerDirectP]

Hey,

I am wondering if anyone has seen any early 2000's Game Used Jeter bats with the #2 written on the knob/top of barrel (end of bat). I know this wasn't common practice for him but I would like to know if he did that back then. Also, please post pictures to confirm

He didn't mark his bats as such..if it's a Sam bat by chance , it is fake

I have seen it on a couple of block letter, rookie era bats but not on anything from 2000 range and forward.

Nope. Marked ones are fake, obviously made by people who did no research prior to marking them. Hopefully this isn't a bat you've already purchased.

Nope I haven't bought anything yet. Everything else matches perfectly. I was scanning through getty images though and especially in 2002, he did in fact put #2 on the knob of his bat quite a few times. Not to say that this is real....... but not sure I could say the bat is not game used just because of the 2. There have also been a couple PSA DNA graded jeter bats with the #2 marked on it also.

However, I wouldn't take PSA for granted but after scanning getty images, he did in fact mark at least a few bats with the #2 on them.

If it's the bat I think you're talking about, I have doubts that it's real. Yeah some bats had jeter, but the 2 on that knob is funky looking.

Yanks - drop me a line at PlayerDirectP@gmail.com. I think we are talking about the same bat.
