Bill,

The Zinn Beck Manush bat sounds interesting. If possible, pleazse post a picture or two.

Kevin,
Here are some shots of the bat. Knob and end of barrel tip are flat. Has great eye appeal with the classic deep branding that is often found on Zinn Beck bats which I am sure you already know since you have a nice selection of them. I am not sure if you have looked at the latest Hunt catalog for the July 11th sale, There is a Zinn Beck 300 Model Paul Waner listed as a Professional model (it is hand turned) with an estimate of 2-3k. same type of bat as this one with Professional branded on the barrel. I recall a previous thread where not too much was known about the Beck 300 models, perhaps some new info is out there. That particular bat (Paul Waner) is 36 inches long and is 34 oz. As I stated in my previous post this example comes up short when compared to the LS factory records. Still a cool bat in my opinion. Let me know what you think. Other opinions always welcome.

Bill,

That's a very nice Manush bat. I don't have any quite like that one, but I did see the Waner bat for sale at Hunt's. Given that your bat is a bit shorter than other known Manush gamers, I'd say that yours is worth maybe 50% of what the Waner bat sells for (just an educated guess).

In case you missed it, check out lot #1090 from the 4/29/06 Robert Edwards Auction. That's a Cobb Zinn Beck 300 model that sold for $1972 (including buyer's penalty). It's a bit different than yours, but perhaps can be used as a point of reference?
