McGwire bat on eBay

Re: McGwire bat on eBay

The lines, where the arrows are, have no reason to be there, if 25 was being written on the knob. Especially the line going horizontal on the 5.

No way to explain that, other than there was something else written underneath.

There's clearly another number there. IMO, the fat and wide numbering on bats like this usually seem to suggest a cover up of another number.. and a very obvious one at that.

Would anyone associated with this thread care to identify yourself as the parties who are now starting to submit low ball offers on the bat?

Collusion is the first word that comes to mind.

Is the $200 reward for a phtomatch to McGwire or Jimenez?

$200 for a match to McGwire
$1000 for a match to Jimenez - ($200 payable immediately, $800 upon legal settlement with the seller)

My ebay ID ends in 62401. I can promise you I am not making an offer on it. Have you considered that these are legit offers for what the perceived value of the bat is?

Re: McGwire bat on eBay

twinlakespark, i didn't doctor anything. i just drew red lines around what i was seeing. i hope you don't include me in your collusion theory. i'ts not me. i don't have an ebay acct. at all and have made no offer's on it. here is the picture again without the red lines. if you have windows picture viewer, all you have to do is open it. then click on paint go to "invert colors" and click it. that's it. no doctoring! i apologizerd to you a few times,for sharing my opinion. so please don't accuse me of trying to mislead anything or anyone. i was just showing what i saw. in my worthless opinion. whatever is under there was written in a light color pen that's why it show's thru as black on the inverted picture, just as the black ink show's as white. i think going thru mears or someone that provides that service is a great idea. the buyer will appreciate a letter from one of those guy's better than an relatively unknown source anyway. it will also raise the value and interest in the bat. like i said besides the # on the knob. i like the bat! i've just never seen another mcgwire bat done like it and i've seen alot of mcgwire's in my year's of collecting mcgwire. i was just trying to help with a reasonable reason as to why it look's the way it does. that's it. that all.

Don't know how long you've been in this hobby, but with the casual way you throw around "lawsuit" and "prosecute," plus the bullying tone of your responses, I'm going to guess that perhaps you want to move to a less stressful hobby, one where you don't peruse forums where people's opinions may differ from yours.

Just my opinion.

PS: You have access to this forum and you have access to ebay. You may even have access to the histories of major auction houses. I'm still waiting for you to find a knob with this type of numbering on the knob.

Has anyone contacted a person by the initials R.H. I'm curious what he would think about it, as I've always found him not only reputable, but respectable in his communications with me.

Those who know who I'm talking about, please keep his name to yourself. I'm not sure if he's much of a private or public person.

Agreed. These are opinions and valid ones at that! If no one has seen this style of markings on a bat, it's natural to be curious and ask questions.

Re: McGwire bat on eBay

This thread is hilarious. Why are people acting scared? Stick to your guns!!! Say it how it is!!!
You have to be pretty one-eyed to totally dismiss the lines under the number. I mean to convince yourself they don't even exist! Haha
