Thats definitely older, the autograph is vintage from his rookie year, it also not maple. I did a bad job with the photos, but the pine tar does match up. Im pretty up set right now either way.

Here are shots of my Pujols C243 from 2001 to illustrate some of Jeff's points.

Very nice bat Rick, I love that ink transfer. Can't be too many signed rookie gamers floating around....Also looks like there is some deep lace marks as well!

As far as the bat in question, I would be curious to know if there was any deep lace indentions?

I have noticed that Albert's pine tar seems to have a different look to it. It usually doesn't have that clumped pine tar appearance that you often see. Is this due to the type of pine tar he uses?

Thanks, I picked it up from the Tony LaRussa Animal Rescue Foundation auction in 2001. If you don't mind, would you contact me off-forum when you have a chance? Specifically, I'd like to know if you have any 2001 Cardinals games from between August 22 and October 7 on tape. If so, I'd love to pay you if I could borrow them to have DVDs made.

Those ball marks look like the classic California Sports Inv ball marks. Their have been threads about that before. Thos are very small allmost golf ball size ball marks.

After being on this forum for 2 days, I am probably going to sell everything i have ever bought and stay out of this hobby. I have probably been ripped off about 4-5 grand now. Amazing.

Has anyone had California Sports Inv. Items pass PSA/DNA? Or any other major authenticator?
