Simple it's from 2008, they didn't start the knob markings till 2009.

Except I don't think he signed a contract until 2009... so they would've been block letter in 2008.

I see, I did not know that.

But I want to say BMH may have said at one time some 2009 bats will be missing the date stamp because the machine broke or something, than they used just numbers. So may have been a gap when nothing was put on the knob? But I'm not 100%, I'm sure someone can find his post about it.

That bat has a shipping record of 6/8/2009, one his first pro model bats.

Does that mean all of the bats from that shipping record were without a date stamp? Also without a date stamp how was the shipping record date verified?

Yes. Specht confirmed with LS that they shipped 4 of these bats.

It's my understanding Posey signed his contract with LV in 2009. Would they have made his signature bat prior to him signing his contract?
