Plus 1. Whats the harm in letting people see it? After all your offering to let it out of your hands to have it publicly displayed. So what is the harm in posting a pic?

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"
It may be the 2nd most important All Star HR bat in existence. Of course Babe Ruth's 1st HR in the first All Star game would be the king, and I'd have put Reggie Jackson's 1971 epic blast ahead of Bo's, but I believe Reggie's bat was burned alongside many rare cars in his collection in a big fire. Perhaps you'll get to view my bat at the Royals Hall of Fame at Kauffman Stadium later this year.Leave a comment:

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"
therealaxis, I got in touch with a the Royals to inform them your bat is not genuine and offered to let them borrow the real Bo Jackson 1989 All Star game used bat for the forthcoming Bo exhibit honoring the 25th anniversary of his call up, among other high end Bo items I extended an offer to loan them.
And I'm upping the ante to a crisp $100 bill to the first person who can upload a legit image of Bo Jackson using therealaxis's bat in a regular season contest (the only way it could have obtained the incorrect blue ball marks it demonstrates). Again, I'm not holding my breath because in my educated opinion his bat is a forgery, certainly not used in the All Star Game and very likely never used by Bo period. Other points of interest wrong with therealaxis's bat include: pine tar substance too dark/heavily applied, pine tar appears to be present at the centerbrand which is incorrect, pine tar is heavily applied over tape which is verified incorrect many times over with still images and video, etc...
In case you're wondering my bat demonstrates correct red ink ball marks that would be expected from striking a real 1989 Rawlings All Star official game ball (correctly noted in the authenticators opinion letter). Of course the only reason the authenticator mentioned the red ink marks is because he botched the first authentication he wrote on yet another fake Bo Jackson 1989 All Star game bat sold by American Memorabilia and I pointed it out on this web site. That bat (with fire damage) was a laughable joke in many respects, but still obtained a LOA.
I'm happy to report that Bo's genuine all star game bat has been nicely preserved (sans tape) in it's original All Star game used state and not used during regular season games/batting practice or damaged/broken. It may be the 2nd most important All Star HR bat in existence. Of course Babe Ruth's 1st HR in the first All Star game would be the king, and I'd have put Reggie Jackson's 1971 epic blast ahead of Bo's, but I believe Reggie's bat was burned alongside many rare cars in his collection in a big fire.

Byergo
There are many here that are interested in viewing your photo/video match that you claim to have. Anyone can take a bat out to the ballpark and start pitching a couple of all star balls in to get your coveted red marks on it. Please tell me that is not all you have to connect your bat to the claim of it being the the all star bat. And if anyone steals it from your home after you compromise it's security by sharing these, I would be happy to reimburse you it's fair market value ($2K?).
Best,

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"
TI know my opinion wasnt asked for and is probobaly not needed but I know for a fact that the first shipments of big block letter LOUSIVILLE bats that were shipped to Adaconad Kay were J93's beacuse my father bought about a dozen of them and sold them as what they were game model bats. If we bought that many of them i know there must be many more out there. This fight isnt going to end and with the low resoultion footage for the game a match isnt possible. If it belonged to me I would feel very confident that your bat is a game used all star game bat from at least the Home Run Durby or Batting Practice looking at the pine tar pattern and tape application it looks too good to have been done by someone trying copy it .

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"
therealaxis, your bat was not only NOT used in the All Star Game, I don't believe it was ever used by Bo Jackson period.
In my opinion the bat is a bad fake made by someone not smart enough to use a real 1989 All Star Game ball. Wishing it was something other than it is doesn't make it so. The PSA/DNA authenticator's letter didn't have any confidence that your bat was used in the 1989 All Star Game either, did he? Did you actually read the letter before making your boastful comments that aren't supported by the facts?
During the 1989 All Star Game, simultaneously Nike kicked off the "Bo Knows" shoe campaign. Immediately following the game Bo was the most popular and photographed athlete in the country, yet no evidence exists of Bo having ever used a block "LOUISVILLE" 1989 All Star bat during the regular season. It's because he didn't, and your bat with it's blue regular season ball marks is a fraud.
I'll step it up a notch with a challenge. I have a crisp $50 bill for the first person who can post a legit image of Bo Jackson using one of the special block lettered reverse "LOUISVILLE" 1989 All Star Game Louisville Slugger J93 bats during a regular season game.
Consider it a favor from me to you, since your bat wasn't used in the All Star Game at least you'll know your bat isn't a worthless fake if someone can substantiate its regular season use. But I'm not holding my breath!Leave a comment:
