The Adam Dunn Game Used Thread

Next is an autographed black Louisville Slugger I13 model bat from Dunn's 2002 All-Star season. I believe the bat is photo matched to a 2003 baseball card featuring a 2002 game photo (photo match pictures to follow).

The card used for the photo match is a 2003 Upper Deck MVP Sports Nut #SN1 (note that the game photo is from a 2002 game). There are two distinctive ball transfer marks on the underside of the barrel that match up in size and placement relative to the silver LVS center brand and the silver "CINCINNATI REDS" label on the barrel. Also, the pine tar application under the center brand extends to the same area on the card image. It's not the strongest photo match in the world (I had a hard time taking a picture of my bat with minimal glare/reflection) but I feel the evidence adds up.

Here is a Louisville Slugger Y30 model bat from Dunn's 2002 All-Star season. Earlier this year I documented photo matches of this bat to a baseball card (see: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...postcount=1239) and to being used during a road game against the Giants on May 3 or 4 in 2002 (see: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ly+significant). I'll post both photo matches shortly.

The card used for the photo match on the left is a 2002 Donruss Studio #200 (this product was released on June 15, 2002). The game photo match on the right was taken in San Francisco on either May 3 or May 4, 2002.
