Re: Please review this bat and let me know what you think

Did you read the previous replies before asking this question? No one can know if it's real as it doesn't show use in the pictures with the listing and he apparently has a history of writing the "Game Used" inscription on bats that were not used or used in batting practice.

So, what more do you want to know? I though the first two replies pretty much answered your questions.

I'll answer your question - "Is it the real deal?"

Maybe.

Thank you!!!

Re: Please review this bat and let me know what you think

Bat and signature are legit.
That being said the low price is because of the lack of heavy use or use for that matter, lack of handle taping, and most importantly lack of pine tar.
Not the ideal Cano gamer but if you're on a low budget it's a legit bat nonetheless, IMO.
There's a similar 2008 gamer on ebay which has more of the above characteristics as well as the higher price tag.
Good luck.

Forgot to mention, although I touched on it.
It's quite possible that bat never saw action despite the inscription.
It has the streak marks from contact with other bats but no identifiable use from the pics posted.
It's possible that the lack of use means it was probably in his possession for game use but not necessarily used.
He would even sign BP bats as "game used 20XX" so doesn't necessarily mean it was game used.

+100

is it the real deal?
