I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

Looks like John from PSA/DNA got part of the LOA correct in that the bat in question from this thread was NOT used by Bo Jackson in the 1989 All Star game, but rather the regular season (if Bo used it at all--which is questionable as I've never seen any evidence of Bo using a block "LOUISVILLE" bat during the regular season). Pretty easy to tell from the blue ball transfer marks and complete lack of red marks (my bat, the real one, exclusively has red marks, with zero blue marks which in bat language translates to: "used in the All Star game and not the regular season, BP, or otherwise"). BTW--I am the person who raised the issue of red ball marks (and posted an image of what a 1989 official All Star Game baseball looks like) in the first place after John botched the authentication for the fire damaged American Memorabilia '89 Bo All Star bat in the first place (that bat had so many problems--where do I start?!). This critical, all important factor wasn't discussed by anyone until I raised the issue. Pat on the back for myself, but it isn't that hard when you are holding the real deal in your hand and carefully examining it!

John is incorrect about the number of these bats that were produced. The Louisville Slugger records, which I've never seen, may indeed refer to 2 bats, but it's been well established there are more than that. So the factory records obviously cannot be relied upon for 100% factual data which is unfortunate. That being the case however, why quote information that's been proven incorrect in the LOA?

Before anyone asks again, no I'm not going to post any pics of my bat online. There are too many of these All Star Bo Jackson block "LOUISVILLE" floating around, and I am increasingly annoyed each time one of these new Especially when bac"Johnny come lately" bats suddenly appears out of nowhere years later and attempts to pose as the real thing.ked with wild speculation, incorrect assumptions, and a lot of cocky attitude. I generously offered a few years ago for anyone who wished to view the bat in person to have the opportunity and nobody took me up on it. "If Scott doesn't post pics of his bat I'll have to assume mine is the homerun bat, even though it has 100% incorrect ball marks, and in other respects which I don't understand, is obviously not the real bat." LOL!

Bottom line and takeaway message: I own the bat that Bo used in the 1989 All Star game and hit the monstrous 448 ft. homerun with. It's photo and video matched. I'm glad to report that this treasure has been well preserved in it's proper All Star game used state, not damaged and broken in the regular season following the All Star game, nor burned in a fire like the American Memorabilia bat. It's the most important bat from Bo's career and the centerpiece of my collection.

I'm glad I happened across this thread, but I don't spend much time collecting game used items anymore and rarely visit this forum so I won't have additional comments for you. If you require more information this topic has been beat to death in prior threads from years ago which were referenced by other posters and which you can search for. Till the next time one of these Bo block LOUISVILLE bats appears out of nowhere and attempts to pose as the Real McCoy and fails, which sadly I have no doubt will occur! I told you last time this issue came up it would happen...

Peace.

Wow I am glad you made your way to my post Mr.Byergo.I first of want to say I certainly did not mean to come off cocky in any way I am not sure how you got that impression so for what ever may have made you feel that way I apologize.All I wanted to do was get some answers on my bat I never said 100 percent that I owned the HR bat, I don't understand why you took it as a personal attack on you or the bat you say you have.
Now to your post you say there has been many versions of this bat appear but the only other one I have seen that is not the wrong model number replica version is the one on AMI.I am aware that there are a number of the replica models floating around but my bat is clearly not one of them.You also mentioned that there were many things that disprove my bat from being the HR bat,other then the blue ball mark what else is there I am interested to know????
Bo had 4 total at bats in the all star game,are you telling me that it is impossible the red ball did not leave transfer marks?Here is a soulution that will end all this now,If you claim to have video/photo matches of your bat post that evidence it should defiantly disprove any other so called as you put it...... "Johnny come lately" bats that suddenly appear out of nowhere years later and attempt to pose as the real thing with wild speculation, incorrect assumptions, and a lot of cocky attitude.Hopefully I hear back from you with at least the willingness to provide that thanks in advance!

I'm not sure they used any special balls for the derby those years. I can't remember them being anything special.

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

Is that bottom pick from the HR Derby in '89? Did they use regular season baseballs during the derby?

I only say it because Bo looks like he's wearing a hat in the bottom photo.

Dave

Yes I think that photo is from the Derby.I noticed the same thing and have been trying to find out information regarding the balls used for the Derby but can't find info anywhere.If any one can help please let me know

Found a few more photos!

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

Completely understandable I also want to get to the bottom of this.As far as I know there is only one other all star bat that has been authenticated and that is the AMI bat.I feel until Scott can provide evidence of his bat it can't be accounted for.I am not by any means trying to accuse Scott of lying but why not provide photos if you believe you intact own the home run bat.In a way scott not being willing to show photo evidence to backup his claim hurts the credibility of mine.

Scott has mentioned in posts that he has photo AND video matched his. anyone asked him to provide that evidence. Until I see the evidence, I'm going to say this one has a better chance of being the HR bat......

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

I just found these pictures of another Bo Jackson 1989 All Star Game bat. This one even has red ink ball marks on the barrel. So how many of these bats are out there??? I know the bat that hit the home run has nothing on the ends of the bat plus the correct bat had tape on the handle. I'm just trying to say there most be more of these bat out there then we all know.

That is the same AMI bat that I mentioned and attached a photo of in my original post

Scott Byergo says in one of the posts that he knows of 3 and maybe a fourth Bo Jackson All Star bat. I just want to get to the bottom of all of this. I want to know for sure who has the bat and how many of these bats are out there. It would be nice to know the truth...

For the record I'm not saying your bat isn't the one but we need to get all the information first before we can say for sure who has the HR bat.

Your bats is still a great bat no matter what. I would put in my collection of bats

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

There's a member on here that says he has the HR bat used by Bo during the 1989 All Star Game. His user name is byergo. There are two other posts about the Bo Jackson 1989 All Star Game on this site. Here are the headings to look up "Bo Jackson 1989 All Star Games bat -NOT!'', and here's the other heading "Bo Jackson 1989 All Star Bats (s)".

I am completely aware of the other threads and Scott Byergo.Scott has been asked many time to show evidence of his bat and has failed to do so.I don't understand what you are suggesting by posting the links to those posts.It is fact there were only two bats issued to Bo for the all star game and as of now they are both accounted for.

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"

John told me over the phone that it is possible for my bat to have been used in the all star game and also used afterwords during regular season.He said that it also may be possible that the red ball did not leave transfer marks and that he may of used the other bat during one of the 4 at bats during the all star game.What i cant understand is how can my bat not have been used in the all star game if the only other bat does not match the home run photo?

Agreed. If there are two bats, and its clearly not the other one... thennnnnn....?
