For sale on ebay before Goldin gets payment or ships

Im all for reselling and making a buck but this listing cracks me up. First the seller just won this last night and thus couldnt have paid yet and certainly hasnt received. Second the price is insane. The seller won the item for $735 with juice! Now its $3,499.99 OBO

Also - it is impossible for this to be used in 2005 since yadi wore "41" and not "4" that year.

That is true, although in fairness to the seller, that is what Taube put on the COA.

Not even sure X-Bat used that center brand until 2006. Can anyone confirm when X-Bat changed logos?

Molina used a black X-Bat in 2005 and 2007; not 2006 and not after 2007. And he definitely wore 41 in 2005 (Einar Diaz wore #4), switching to 4 in 2006.

So, at best, this is a 2007 gamer (assuming X-Bat was using its old logo in 2005 and that the 4 on the knob didn't use to be 41).
