Look. I see that you have listed my phone number and name on Gameuseduniverse…. 
I am not certain why I feel the need to explain this, but I am a very HONEST 
person who has over 200+ positive, legitimate transactions on EBAY without ever 
having an issue. This Babe Ruth bat has apparently created a big hoopla over a 
misunderstanding. First of all, I have people harassing me from all over the 
country on something that they clearly are wrong about. People are telling me I 
sandpapered off the 36” mark on the bat. I would never, ever do such a thing. 
Obviously, the flash in the photo blocked it out somehow (unintentionally). 
Attached is a picture with the 36” still there (and today’s newspaper to prove 
it!)…I said it would pass PSA/DNA and if it didn’t I would refund payment as I 
believed it to be game used…Not certain how that constitutes fraud as I have 
discussed with several people the fact that the “125” denotes a Pro-model bat, 
not a store model bat like the “40.” I had no idea that a length stamp (I even 
mention in the listing that it is a 36”) meant it was store bought!!

I purchased the bat for what I believed was a steal for a game used bat and 
looked to profit from that. Period. Clearly, I was wrong about the “deal” I 
thought I got on the bat (Turns out that I am the sucker!!), but I am now being 
threatened by people and I am planning on removing myself from the EBAY 
community altogether over this. It is absurd. I am certain you are a very nice 
man, but I do not take threats to my family lightly!

Needless to say, the bat will not be re-listed and will remain in my collection 
where it belongs. IT WAS NOT SOLD. IT WILL NOT BE SOLD. PERIOD! END OF 
DISCUSSION. If you want to be fair, which I am certain you do, then PLEASE COPY 
AND PASTE my response on Gameuseduniverse. This is the truth.

Have a nice day.
