That's not the case all the time. What if they did it after it cracked to use the bat more for bp. Plus most of the time when you remove tape and clean the residue off, you'll still be able to tell that there was tape because the wood will be lighter.

That's true. Especially with the older bats.

It all depends on the age of the bat. I get bats from the 1920-40's all the time that have been sitting in storage that need a little loving. Linseed oil and a rag usually does the trick.

Anything post 1970 or so I usually leave alone.

Bats that are cracked and are taped by batboys etc, I have zero problem removing the tape and cleaning up the residue.

As for this bat, I think it's kind of crummy to even bring it up something that you failed to do.- clean up the bat. If you wanted to get your max dollar for the bat, clean it yourself. I don't blame the new seller at all.

That's just my opinion. Probably shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

Normally lemon oil will remove most of the residue.

Tape residue? Try goo gone, gently at first.
