Hello Scott & Jim-

Jim - Thank you for providing all the information in your post. That was tremendously helpful.

Scott - Would you mind posting the length and weight of the bat as well as the other factors which led to the A6 grade? Given the various aspects of the bat, it would probably be helpful to all of us in the collecting community to understand more about the grading process.

Finally, regarding a good price, excluding the most recent auctions which need to be added to our database, our data from public sale transactions over the last 6 years show the price one could typically expect to pay for a 1961-64 Aparicio bat would probably be somewhere around $2,000. Regarding that price point, an S188 model 1961-64 Aparicio bat sold in MastroNet in 2000 for $1,937 including the premium. Notably, grading has been a more recent phenomenon so the bat sold in 2000 did not have a grade. If more graded Aparicio bats come to market that would obviously provide more detailed data for bats with specific grades.

Hope that helps and Happy Holidays.

Sincerely,
Christopher Cavalier
