Be careful: Bo Jackson bat on ebay

Re: Be careful: Bo Jackson bat on ebay

I'm not interested in entering a "hornets nest" thread on the game used forum, so this will be my only post regarding this issue. I've seen the direction these often take, and little positive often comes out of it.

First off I bought the bat, not the piece of paper that came with it (many LOA's aren't worth the paper they are printed on). Second, although the item was poorly listed last time around, the LOA DOES in fact make mention that it's a game used bat. Third, the bat is game used displaying Bo's use characteristics exactly as described in the listing. I haven't altered the bat in any manner, and never would do something unethical such as that. Also, I've handled many Bo game used items and I only buy stuff I believe in myself, and I do have experience. As with everything I sell, I stand behind the item 100% and offer an unconditional money back guarantee.

Well this thread kind of turned a corner.

First off, my intention was never to badmouth a guy trying to flip an item on ebay.

Now back to this bat. This LOA DOES NOT mention the bat is a gamer. Handwriting on a typed LOA doesn't count. That is the equivalent of me writing "game used" on all my PSA LOA's. Here is a pic for all to make their own decisions.

Second, the bat is sketchy at best. I too have handled a fair number of Bo gamers. There appears to be way too much pine tar as compared to the amount of other use shown. That can be a sign of a doctored signed bat.

I would like to know what, if anything is written on the knob. But since the seller wouldn't respond to my inquiry I guess I won't know.

I know the bat was not doctored by current seller. What I am saying is given the LOA, the inconsistent use characteristics, and the fact that Anaconda Kaye sold that same model, I wouldn't touch it. In my OPINION it was doctored before the current seller bought it. And I think it is a stretch for the seller guarantee it as game used.

Bryan,

Please let me know if you come across any Bo Jackson gamers that you're looking to sell.

Thanks,

For what it's worth, I stay away from Bo's B310 models unless John Taube has signed off on it.

Well its definitely the same bat. You can tell by the dark line to the left of the S in Slugger.

Re: Be careful: Bo Jackson bat on ebay

Its a judgement call. I agree that it was not "poorly listed". the original seller was not selling it as gameused. So, if it is the position of the new owner that it is game used, maybe it should be represented as his opinion in the auction and not a fact.

Speaking of Bo Jackson, wasn't he one of the player's jerseys that Scoreboard sold in 1989? If so. would anyone have a copy of what an actual Scoreboard signed jersey looked like with tags?

Thanx
