Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up

Reid, no fear, the comments were posted towards me.

If someone quotes Jason's comments it is the only way I can read them.

Then again, the other day just his title set me off, like it is our business if someone pays $2000.00 for a game used item of Julio Franco we should judge that they paid too much because of the eBay market being so soft these day.

More Bats are up. Too bad the Griffey bat was NOT used in an official game. If you go to Getty images, Griffey had his pink bat taped on the barrel. Ugh!

From a very good source, I was told that each MLB player received 10 -12 "Pink" Mother's Day bats.

I wonder if the Bill Hall is the walk off homer bat. Shows nice use, is over 3k..... Looks like they have only just started with them. Quite a few teams aren't listed yet. Wonder if the Thome bat will be his homer one, he used pink bats in few at bats...I was hoping they would start out at $100, instead of $300. Curious to see if Boston and Texas bats surface as game issued, they were rained out on Mother's day, maybe those will go cheap.....Looks like even the lesser player's will sell for a decent price. Here a link to mlb auctions.....

I hope when the buyers want to get rid of the bats on the secondary market on ebay the prices will be more down to earth. First law of economics I remember from college is never be a pioneer!

David - All the proceeds from the bats will go to:

Proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation

That foundation is a 501c3 Charitable Foundation so any buyer will be able to take a charitable deduction on their taxes above the fair market value of the bat.

Someone who pays $2,100 for this bat and say they claim $2,000 as a charitable deduction is probably at $1,200 to $1,400 in real cash dollars for the bat and is helping a great cause!!! I hope the bats go higher (except for the ones I bid on ).

I agree it's a great cause. Didn't realize the buyer can take a tax deduction. I may even bid now. Thanks for that info.

Check out the Beltran Old Hickory bat. It looks partially painted. I know Louisville Slugger backed the promotion so this should be rare.

Re: Mother's Day 'Pink' Bats Are Up

Felipe Lopez is the Hickory type bat as well. They are painted with a much lighter pink than the Louisville Slugger bats from this program. Do the Hickory even have the MLB logo breast cancer ribbon on them?
