Dating Marucci Bats

Re: Dating Marucci Bats

The knob in the original post here is not from the 'frankenbat.' This bat has no date on the knob, while the frankenbat one specifically DID have a date (thus it was so easy to tell that the handle was from 2008 but the barrel--with the ink dot--was from 2009).

This is the same knob. If you blow up the photo from his ebay listing you can see 8/21/08 on both knobs

And you can see it in the pic that was first posted in this thread if you look close. All the same knob.

My mistake. Couldn't see it in the first pic, plus I thought that joelsabi actually had this 'dateless' bat in his own collection.

No prob. It's hard to see and I think I have good eyes . I think when he stained it all to looked the same after he "repaired" it, it made it harder to read. Plus he could have sanded on it too...All the pics have the same black mark below the number 1 as well.

[QUOTE]Gotcha.

I did not buy that bat but am interesting in knowing how to date Marucci Bats. I discovered I know almost nothing about bats except for LVS.

If you look at the knob as a clock and look at what would be 2 o'clock on the knob on the extreme outter edge there are 3 distinct sratches that match up in both knobs.

Just my opinion. KingJammy needs to get out the pointer and circle the similarities.

Same bat knob. I reversed the image and the dates are still there. Bad photo - no sand job that I can see.
