Dude you wanted opinions on the bat before you spent your lawnmowing money - meaning you had intentions of not paying for the bat that you are contractually obligated to buy per your Ebay user terms and conditions that you signed when you illegally signed up as an underage ebay user. Quit the double talking. Pay for the item, do your research, grow up, and quit whining.

Dan A little word of advice on sellers offering to allow you to return an item. If they are dishonest and selling you a bogus item, what would make you think that the same dirtbag will honor his word on the return. (I know that there are protections through Paypal and credit cards, but they are not a sure thing). That's the beauty of this site to young or new collectors like you...learn from our mistakes, we've all made them. Just enjoy the bat, signed unsigned or whatever. Your feelings and enjoyment of it mean more than anyone else can ever say.

As for the sig...you already knew the answers you got. It looks way way too deliberate.

Don't sweat the comments. Yesterday was a full moon. It makes folks get a little salty. Talk to the seller. Ask some questions. The ball is in your court now, because sellers can't leave negative feedback (which sucks). Remove the autograph and enjoy your game issued bat.
My advice is: Don't cut the grass in bare feet!

Give it time, it seems like most Reds end up with the Nats at some point.

I do not doubt that one bit.

Imagine, Reds in Washington DC........what would Sen. McCarthy say to that!

The Reds to Nats list is long.....

Wily Mo Pena
CJ Nitkowski
Felipe Lopez
Austin Kearns
Dmitri Young

am I missing anyone?

Reds should have traded Dunn when they could get something for him. Bottom line is he is one guy, and they'd be better off to trade him for pitching or whatever as they are not winning with him or Griffey. I don't see the Reds in Dunn's future. Will they lose him to free agency and get NOTHING?

You admire another GM that goes out of his way to put down a player that has done nothing to his team or organization? You have got to be kidding me, I see no need for any office worker on another team to be commenting about other players. He could have easily said they were not interested in Dunn instead of painting some big picture of a player that is not on his team. I think it was coward less, can even guess how you think that shows "stones".

What I said, was that I'm not commenting on what he said, but the fact that he had an opinion on something and stated such. Too many people keep their opinions to themselves in the politically correct world we live in. Its refreshing to see someone speak their mind. I may not like the message, but I'll defend his right to say it.

I wouldnt mind having Dunn on the Nationals right now though.

Being in an AL city (Detroit) I don't hear alot on Dunn and have to go out of my way to get stories. As a lifetime Dave Kingman fan and collector, the similarities with Dunn and other sluggers are many. I think he has many great qualities. 4 straight 40 HR seasons on his way to 5 would be a start. His shortcomings balance out. May not be a HOFer but not everybody is. We can't dispatch every player who we think will not make the Hall. Kingman did not stay employed for 16 years for being a nothing.

The beauty of this story is this: the Reds will soon be taking on the Jays, and hopefully Dunn will make them pay. Let his bat do the talking. Back in the 80's the GM of the Mariners said Kingman was a "mistake hitter." Kingman got mad, and went on to destroy the Mariners every chance he got thereafter. He said himself it kind of lit a fire. Sometimes the worse thing a guy can do is open his mouth, and someone in a GM position should know better...

Well at least you won't have to worry about being outbid by BlueJays GM J.P. Ricciardi for any future Adam Dunn memorabilia

I neither agree or disagree with what the GM said, but I admire a man that has the stones to speak his mind.

With a high degree of confidence, I want to re-assure you that nobody on this forum has a vendetta against you. The implication that you had won the auction and then might not pay for it came from your initial post:

"I did win it though and i would like peoples opinions before i spend my money on it."

My only point in my reply was that I felt that you already HAD spent your money on it by winning the auction. If you didn't really mean to say it that way, that is my bad. I know things can get lost in translation sometimes.

Back to the whole point of the thread: I agree whole heartedly with your assessment of the signature. I also agree that even without the signature you got a good deal on the bat. Congrats!

Oh and Mr Perfect Nyyorkjets or whatever your name is. I never won the ESM auction. Obviously scolded me for being rude and not doing my recearch and you could even understand my post like everyone else.

Green grizzle: Don't let the negative guys get you down here. Ignore them or just try to learn from the forum. Some have a tendency to be negative.

I think Dunn is one of the most underrated players in the game. 4 straight 40 HR seasons, almost 1/2 way to another and you still never hear his name?? Better for us. That will keep prices lower. Howard Wolf just had a beautiful 05 alternate on ebay a few weeks back, went for under $500. Unreal. While there is a co. on ebay that has Dunn stuff and I amongst others have had issues with their customer service - I believe all their stuff to be legit. I have seen batting gloves, helmets, bats all available.
