After looking at all other brands pink bats, Louisville Slugger is by far the nicest presentation piece.

What do you suppose will happen if the pink bats dont sell off MLB auction?

Last year for the lesser players, I thought they drop the starting bid price by $50 or a $100 if there are no bids. Do not plan on that for sure, but occasionally MLB.com lowers their price if an item is not selling.

if you want a pink arod, there is one cheaper on ebay, this year he didnt play on mothers day. $300 on MLB to start is steep.

100% correct, as I was at the game. In fact, arod, just like Jeter used the pink bat in the first inning only. Arod singled down the 3rd base line with his.

Is there a reason some of the 2008 bats are more expensive then their 2009 counterparts? I am new to bat collecting and noticed the Wright 2008 is a couple hundred dollars more than the 2009 (last I looked).

Thanks,

Ultimately, I think we need to wait and see where the auctions finish. They may get a lot of late action. Without knowing the specifics, one may be more desirable than another based on his performance in those two games, IE did he hit a homerun in 2008 and go 0-4 in 2009. Also they could have different usage characteristics, one may show a lot of use and the other very little. I would assume they are same model and manufacturer, but differences in make and model could have an impact on desirability. If all that were the same, they'll probably finish up pretty close to one another.

Re: Pink 2009 Mothers Day Bats on MLB auction

After looking a little closer... I like usage of the 2009 bat better personally, plus its autographed... in 2009 he went 1-4 single 2K. In 2008 he went 1-4 single, BB, 2K. So I would garner a guess that its just too early to call. Both auctions have quite a bit of time left, so I think most likely its just too early to mean much. Auctions are funny like that.

I know it's for charity but i can't see why people are paying $1,500+ for a Derek Jeter signed pink bat?

Re: Pink 2009 Mothers Day Bats on MLB auction

MLB auctions dopped the starting bids on the bats with out bids. New starting bids are $250 in most cases with a few at $200.

I am not trying to sound like a non-caring person. But, how long has there been cancer research and yet no cure has been found????

My dad lost his girlfriend of 13 years to cancer, so I know first hand what is like to see someone shrink away and die.

I feel there is way too much money involved, too much money to be made, there for no cure has been found.

Just look at AIDS, they sure took care of that disease pretty quick. Maybe they did not find a total cure. But they have expensive medicines you can take to keep it in check. They sure put the magic back into Magic Johnson.

Why no cure for cancer???? Drug companies/Doctors/Hospitals are all getting rich off of a lot of people dying.

Now back to this thread. Just because the auction sends money to charity does not mean the average joe collector should pay an exorbitant amount of money for one of these bats.

After all not all of the money from these bats goes to the charity. ONLY the Net proceeds from this auction will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

What are the NET proceeds??????
