Re: pujols game used bat
This is a dilemma that I have been faced with MANY times over the years – and it doesn’t matter what the product is: autographs, bats, jerseys – ANYTHING…
When you have a dealer who is considered by many to be trustworthy and honest – and something like this comes up, what do you do? Email the seller? Tell nobody? It just seems that every time I decide to email the seller or post something in the forum about something that is less than perfect, I get a nasty email from the seller telling me that I don’t know s*it – and that I am setting myself up for litigation, etc. It happened a few times with guys that are lauded in this forum for being great sellers.
I would seriously be interested in what Rich himself has to say about this bat after being presented with this ‘evidence’. He obviously thinks highly of this item or the price would be lower. Do you think he will simply ‘pull the product’ and thank us for pointing out that the bat is not what it seems? If he’s the guy he claims to be in his catalogs, he most certainly will change the description of the item –or a least take it down to have it examined by an expert. By expert, I mean the person who has shown us photographic proof in this thread. There is only one ‘expert’ when it comes to Pujols game used bats, and knowing Jeff (Hi Jeff) – it’s doubtful he’d even call himself an expert.

Just look at the pine tar on these three 2009 game-used bats. Note the color of the tar and where it is. Should be all you need to know.

Re: pujols game used bat
I saw that bat around the holidays and something seemed off - even though it is the right model.
I contacted Jeff at Bird Bats and he pointed out the huge difference in the look and pattern of the pine tar on that bat. On that bat it is caked-on, black colored pine tar on the entire handle versus the thinner coat of reddish color pine tar pattern he typically has - he had various pics on the exact bat to show the difference.
Bottom line - bat was used by someone else

pujols game used bat
Can anyone offer any opinions on this pujols gamer listed on hollywood collectibles website? I am looking for a pujols, but want to ensure I buy a legit piece. I've heard Rich is a stand up guy but have never dealt with him personally. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
