I see you place a great importance on COAs/LOAs. That will certainly change as you continue to develop your expertise in game used items.

Re: 2006 Ryan Zimmerman Uncracked bat

Since you guys have been posting this publicly, I want to chime in here...

"GreenGrizzle" - I know plenty of reliable dealers and collectors that do not offer a COA/LOA for items that they sell. This is because the bat has been procured from a solid source. Many of these items exceed $500 - and often are well above that amount.

For Jerseys and some high end items, a team letter is really invaluable to an item...and sometimes player letters surface. However, a COA from anyone other than the team or player is only a piece of paper. The item still has to have proper use characterisitics, ordering records, etc.

This bat seems to have a paper trail attached to it, as I have already seen it in another thread. Instead of posting this stuff in a public forum, why not just email each other - honestly, it looks like you are trying to call Brian out here...and since the original thread about this bat has been posted, it is obvious that everyone here knows where the bat originated, and it has documented proof in the GUU archives.

If you are that concerned about it, move on and try to find another bat, right?

I just ran across this thread which I previously posted to a while back.

The bat in question I believe is one of the Zim "rookie" bats that I sold directly to Kim at Ball Park Heroes.

Most of my Zim bats have MLB #'d holograms and are cracked, but that one in particular was uncracked and didn't get the hologram and I got it directly from one of the players.

After last night's Walk Off HR, I would guess the price went up!!!

Good luck. Andrew

Re: 2006 Ryan Zimmerman Uncracked bat

greengrizzle - I got my Zim bat from Andrew, no hologram and no COA and I have absolutely no concerns about it being the real deal or not. Its as real as it gets. I didnt expect or ask for a COA because I know that Andrew has the connections to the team and he gets good stuff.

It makes sense that an "uncracked" bat would not have a hologram. To my knowledge, the hologram is only placed on the bat when it can no longer be used in a game (i.e. - cracked).

If Andrew sold a bat to BPH and they sold it to Brian and he is now offering it for sale, I wouldnt expect a hologram or COA from anyone except the Nats (if they even issued one at all). After the bat leaves the original owners' hands (Nats), a COA from anyone else is worthless. If Andrew got a COA from the Nats and passed it along, great. If not, so be it.

You should just try to be knowledgable enough to distinguish a gamer from anything else and certainly not hint at any of the accusations that you seem to be making against a respected member of this forum.

Re: 2006 Ryan Zimmerman Uncracked bat

look i cant take back what i said, i told you i didnt to go come across like i did. obviously i really crossed the line if i have all of you respondeding the way you are. Look, if you where to ask me about how a 1994 a-rod Upper deck sp might grade and what it is worth, how many have been graded, or name every single ceritified ryan zimmerman abseball card ever issued, id go right down the list for you. i didnt and still dont know jack on game used bats. Though ive learned 100% more than i did with talking with Brian and you guys i still cant claim i know much. the way "deputy" put it and someone else(put posting a reply i cant scroll up to copy the name) i see now how it is for a game used bat. Thats all that really needs to be said. While im so parinoid about the computer and being ripped off, because i know myself and how i can convince myself about something beacuse haveing a ryan zimmerman bat in my collection is something i never thought i could actually own. So i didnt mean to call anyone out, i just wanted to know the deal with this and why things are the way they are. Maybe i came off wrong, well i did come off wrong, and maybe that was to get a reaction so i could get what i thought was the truth out of the situation. My apoligy's to Brian and to those i might of disrupted on your forum.

Re: 2006 Ryan Zimmerman Uncracked bat

also, ive learned that from what i thought was a bunch of people making money off of game used stuff and it being a business, its actually quite the opposite and im lucky to be able to have bats like Brian's even come out of the Organization to end up in the hands of a collector that just plainly loved the sport of baseball

Re: 2006 Ryan Zimmerman Uncracked bat

Hate raising a thread from the grave like this but I had a question regarding this bat.

Over time, I ended up in possession of this bat.

My daughter needs braces so it is time to let some things go. Does anyone know what I should ask as a sales price for this?

Thanks!
