Re: Wade Boggs Bat on Ebay
I have also gone ahead and emailed Tony at Mears, per your suggestion.

Re: Wade Boggs Bat on Ebay
I received the Boggs bat today and it sure appears gorgeous.
Troy from Mears had written me back (great responsiveness) and apologized for the confusion and said he personally went and looked at the bat and measured it - and that is was much closer to 34 inches. I measured it tonight and to my untrained eye it is 1/16th (maybe 1/8th) of an inch short of 34 inches. Troy also proactively issued me a full graded letter where he graded it a 9. As for the weight, his comment was that while the shipping records are helpful and important, all they truly do is tell you what a bat weighed when it was made and shipped and that 15 years later, there is most likely to be a drop in weight - but that he apparently did not have a concern. Finally, he expressed that he wanted me to be 100% satisfied and to return the bat if there was any concern.
In any event, while my knowledge of authenticity is small, for anyone who transacts with Troy/Mears, I certainly was extremely pleased with their client service mindset.
Here is a picture of the knob - what do folks think?

Re: Wade Boggs Bat on Ebay
I think the numbers match up to the styles presented on Andy's website and given the length is very close to 34" you have yourself a nice bat.
Troy and Mears are great in making sure their customers are happy. I've had many good dealings with him over the years.
