HELP! Input on buying some game used bats.

Re: HELP! Input on buying some game used bats.

Stealth, visit websites like birdbats dot com, learn to differentiate between store model & professional model gamers. Click on "identifying gamers" This is a big first step. Labeling/knob stampings are basic indicators that will help you. Then you might get into hall of fame (ordering) Records of Players, things such as length & weight will be another concern. hofbats dot com may also have some info, Tim is great to deal with at hofbats.

Good luck, have fun with it. Make sure & "do your homework" before you lay out any Cash.

Feel free to email me anytime, I may be able to help. I have HOF Ordering records of quite a few Players.

Feel free to Email, there`s a ton to learn about Game used Bats. Surprisingly, when you get the "Basics" figured out, then you have to learn about the Players "Use Characteristics" Was/is he a Label up/down Hitter, how Pine Tar was applied, knob writing can be from several sources, players/equip. managers etc...

There are people (both men & women) on here that have a ton of knowledge about players & their Equip.

Re: HELP! Input on buying some game used bats.

Chris I see you with the Ryan Express and Rangers gear. Are you in the DFW area?

Stealth -

Not since '91! I was born in Waco, grew up in Garland - attended Texas Tech and UNT and moved to Colorado in '91 with the 1st wife and the USAF. Been here ever since.

I'm guessing you're there? I'll be at both Rockies and Rangers Spring Training in about a month...

Re: HELP! Input on buying some game used bats.

Most of the bats are retail bats.

Looks like there might be one or 2 actual game used bats in there but then my next question would be why would a couple of game used bats be mixed into a bunch of retails. Unless possibly they are retail themselves.

Definitely post some more pics of the knobs and the branding labels that would help.
