So I am back to this Manny Ramirez Game Used / Signed bat with the MR24 Hologram and LOA signed by Manny himself....
After speaking to someone at the auction site that had some identical Manny "gamers" sold in 2004 and 2005 as well as looking through 1000's of old Google search items, I am back to trying to find out if this really was a bat used by Manny or is it a complete fake?
The signature is without question 100% real, but what about everything else? I know it is not pounded like most Manny's, and has not tape or remanants of a tape job, but does has a light/medium application of pine tar and shows light to moderate use.
If there are any Manny Experts out there...please chime in for me. It was the first ever piece of "game used" memorabilia I bought and it is still with me as I have never gotten a consensus on whether it is real, fake or a BP bat ordered and used by Manny specifically for his website sales.
I have PM BMH to see if he has any ordering info about it, but am not sure if the message got through...so BMH if you see this, and have the time, could you either email me directly or just respond to this post?
I have also included a photo from an American Memorabilia Auction in 2004-2005 that is the same bat, but has the ASI hologram....they sold these bats with either the ASI holo/LOA or the MR24 holo/LOA...pic may not come up, it may be a web address instead FYI
This is why this site is the BEST for ANY and ALL collectors in the sports world...it is amazing what you can learn from here and the community it has created is second to none!
Thanks everyone!
