Re: 1996 McGwire Bat - MAC 25 model?

well everyone, i got the 96 bat in the mail today...and i must say with a very very very very happy face, the bat is EVERYTHING i hoped it would be. Here is the barrell detail - BEAT TO HELL



here are more pics - pine tar is very nice, nice big rack marks and numerous blue marks not to mention a nice crack in the Rawlings logo. Overall this 96 is as good as gets. Very Pleased!!

Congrats on an incredible pickup. That is what I was missing from the pics. If the seller would have actually posted the back barrel in more detail as well as the whole bat displayed as one pic like I asked on the first day i might have gone a bit higher on the bids beyond $1k. I don't know if it would have gone for more than the final sale price. but it is an incredible bat. Great pickup and thanks for sharing the pics.

Here is a possible photomatch. Just kidding.

Pretty ironic post, coming from a Sheffield guy.

ill post pics when i get the bat hand. i hope its what i think it is.

I had emailed the seller right after the auction went live and asked for additional clearer pics. Never got a response until the day before the auction ended saying that they would send more pics but they never arrived. I was just not comfortable enough without the extra pics, but hopefully it is what it is reported to be and you get a great bat.

Sweet pick up man. I wanted to bid but I wasn't comfortable with it. The pics were just too dark to see the tar patterns. I didn't want to risk it if it wasn't to my liking.

Re: 1996 McGwire Bat - MAC 25 model?

bret, i totally agree with you, but i have wanted a signed 96 gamer for a while. i did one a few months ago, that has some nice use, but i was drawn to this bat strongly. it has a nice crack in the middle on the rawlings logo and very nice big and bold signature. i missed out on a 96 gamer last year that bobby on hear scooped up. and i have regretted it to this day. so i paid the ludicrous money simply because i had to have it. but i agree, wayy high, but hey, you only live once.

Man, that thing went for big time money $1725.00??? That is generally territory reserved for the very best currrent Cards Mac bats. I had some measure of interest but not at that price.

If this bat is going home with you,Then you must be prepared to bid more than 1100.00 on it... I curious as to why a this bat is so high? Something seems to be fishy IMO

As for the know I want to see Bobby's bat as a reference and to see if its from the same batch,If so then the 33 mcgwire should be the same.... If your looking for a bat I might be able to help

the bat on ebay WILL be coming home with me. I have won a nice amount of money on the NFL playoffs. And it will be a early birthday gift to myself. Knob looks legit.

Its not so much the low feedback, its (and probably moreso) the plethora of other seemingly "odd" offered for sale at the same time by the same seller.

Re: 1996 McGwire Bat - MAC 25 model?

Is it just me, or does that bat look like it has an "H" crack on just to the lower left of the Rawlings logo on this "uncracked" bat? Seller has not responded to questions on that or other things. Which I guess is fine, he has bids why bother answering questions.

However, that led me to look at seller's other feedback other items they are selling. While I am not an expert in the wide variety of high quality items other items they are offering, there seems to be several items that are currently carrying quite low bids for authentic items - autographs (Mantle ball for $125), game used items (an "awesom" ARod Game bat for $40), etc. Just odd to me.

i was thinking the same thing. But about a year and a half ago i declined to bid on a sweet 96 mcgwire bat, that Bobby , a member here ended up buying. The seller did not have negative feedback, but just just not alot of it. Anyway bobby got the bat and it was a a nice bat. So in this case, i will take the chance even though the seller has low feedback.
