Re: Larry Walker bat on eBay from ZaneBats

Zane's a good guy, however him starting the listing at $10 is all you need to know (on how comfortable he felt about the bat).

No doubt, ive ne er seen a walker without 33, he was pretty religious at marking it. I actually own a spike owen expos bat that i bought for peanuts and low and behold....33 on knob....young larry

Re: Larry Walker bat on eBay from ZaneBats

Larry walker also bats left. So the lefty marks wouldnt come into play.

That was part of my point in the original post. Zane claimed it was Walker's bat due to the left-handed marks. My point was that Denny Neagle was left-handed, as well, and wore the #15. The combination of those two facts meant that the left-handed marks on the barrel weren't definitively from Larry Walker, and, in all likelihood, were merely from Denny Neagle's usage.

And, before this gets rehashed... I doubt Walker would give a used bat to Neagle, and, even if he did, the bat would have some evidence of "3" or "33" being on the bat, since the number three is Larry Walker's lucky number.

Well, that's different. I've seen bats broken completely in half that they've just taped together and put one holo sticker on - in fact, I think I've got a couple of them.

I've seen it done both ways. I think it depends on which person/park collected the broken bat.

Because the bat was broken in 2 and they auth'd both pieces.

Just an FYI, this bat was actually used by Juan Rivera according to the MLB website. I sent an email, and they said that the description would be changed.

Yes, he changed the description to say it was used by Rivera, but left in the remaining comments about which teams Guerrero played for, which, given the bat was used by Rivera, are, for the most part, irrelevant to the item.

I've never in my life seen an MLB hologram sticker on a bat's knob - anyplace other than the barrel.

Re: Larry Walker bat on eBay from ZaneBats

When I read this stuff, I just have to laugh. Shoulda? Coulda? Woulda? Maybe? It's possible? So sick of sellers (referring this to any and all sellers who do it) wording auctions that are general, but imply things that makes collectors believe other things. So sick of it! Stick to the facts! Assumptions are just that!

Right, but what I'm saying is that is always how his auctions are.

I've noticed in the past that if it has the wrong # on the ends, he will just say the # present with a photo. If it matches the player, then he'll say "his #15 on knob"

Anyways, I get it, but everyone needs to do their own hw across the board, no matter who the seller is

Re: Larry Walker bat on eBay from ZaneBats

Nate, removing egos from this, do you think that Zane is right in not posting that the bat was likely used by Neagle? Also, Walker was very particular about putting the "3" on his bats, since that was his lucky number.

Probably. But that's not how he does his auctions. Very general descriptions.

Re: Larry Walker bat on eBay from ZaneBats

Really? Because I think it's quite possible Walker gave Neagle a used bat. That happens all the time
