Excuse me Mods, please place this thread in Game Used Memorabilia.

Thanks!

What? No Braves fans on here? Calling Kyle Hess......

No comments on my Braves bats???

[camarokids]

I recently traded away my Darrel Chaney bat and bought a 1987 Rawlings Ken Griffey Sr. Braves bat from Zane Burns.

Zane is a great seller. He ships bats very fast!!!!

Still at 21 Braves bats......

David, I think your collection is spectacular. What a great array of lumber from the days I was in high school and remember the players of that era. Good job and I wish you many more quality additions over the years!

Thanks Joe!

Collecting the Braves in almost like time travel for me.....

I wish I could afford to buy a Hank Aaron bat. Someday I hope.

How did you get to start collecting Jim Eisenreich?

Have a pair of new additions, thanks to Zane Burns. A 1987 Ken Griffey Sr. Rawlings, a sweet bat with a ton of ball marks. Also a 1977 Vic Correll to go with the 1973-75 bat of his I already have. Pics to come soon!!!

Here is a pic of the Griffey Sr. bat 1987....

Awesome bats, David! Love the Pocoroba and Benedict. I have a handful myself. Murphy, Horner, Hubbard, Ramirez, Mahler and a few others. Believe it or not, one of my favorites is a Pascual Perez gamer. It's a decent size piece of lumber all things considered. Btw, if you're interested in a Ken Oberkfell Braves era LVS, let me know.

I am wanting a Murphy and a Hank Aaron (will have to wait for the Hank).
Then I would feel my Braves collection would be near complete.

I don't want to go OCD (:eek:)on Braves bats like I have on Devil Rays. Probably will though.

If you get a chance I would like to see pics of your Braves bats. For now I need to wait on the Ken O. bat. Thanks for the offer.

I should have my newest Braves bat any day now. A 1991 Terry Pendelton LS signed by the entire team. I am very happy to get this. A few year ago I had a chance to get a 1995 Ryan Klesko Rawlings World Series bat signed by the team, but didn't pull the trigger quick enough.

I will post pics soon.

The bat actually turned out to be a 1992 team signed bat, not a 1991.....
