Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
Now there is yet another BO J93 1989 block "LOUISVILLE" bat up for sale on ebay. Item number: 320838301617.
This bat has significant water stain marks on the barrel end. Curiously, the seller claims the bat came directly from Bo.
Looks like the message has been clearly received in that the seller makes it clear that his is NOT the authentic All Star Game used bat. That puts a smile on my face!Comment

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
gingi79, you are correct in that I have good reasons for not posting pics of my bat, and will not do so under any circumstance. I already said that long ago, and it isn't subject to change.
The value of the Genuine Article can never be tarnished, and anyone who buys my bat (which isn't for sale) or any other piece of significant game used memorabilia should conduct extensive due dilligence to know what they are buying, and then pull the trigger confident in their expert knowledge of the subject matter. If you know what you are doing, at least in this case, you can quickly tell the Real McCoy from a poorly executed fake. If you don't you shouldn't be in the market for that item anyway. You know what they say: a fool and their money are quickly parted. Never more true than in the GU marketplace, where a fool (or even a reasonably educated consumer in some cases) can part with tremendous sums of money on worthless merchandise very rapidly!
I think many have learned that over the past year, what with the J.O. Sports and other memorabilia dealers getting blown up by the FBI. I've been away from this board for months, as I rarely add new items to my collection at this point as there hasn't been anything of quality on the market that's interested me, and it was quite a surprise to me to see that a highly regarded dealer with contracts with NFL teams, and seemingly rock solid items selling for stupid money, was faking items and defrauding the hobby.
Bottom line, know what you buy really well--better than anyone else, and most LOA's from supposed general subject matter experts and dealers are best used as toilet paper. As I initially stated, the reason for this thread was to keep an uneducated buyer from getting taken on a non-genuine item
In any case, if my bat is ever for sale during your lifetime (which is doubtful), it's value will be determined by a person in the market for said item, armed with the knowledge required to pull the trigger with absolute confidence, in a private transaction, and the musings of message board posters would have absolutely zero impact on its price. I have a standing offer at what many here would consider stupid money for the Bo Jackson All Star GU bat and turned it down. To me it's something that would be difficult to part with.Comment

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
To the above. The power of this forum is extensive and your inability to provide proof that your bat is the real deal has diminshed value of your game model Bo Jackson bat showing game use! I suggest that you take the "stupid money" offered to you quick before the buyer reads the forum and realizes his money is best spent elsewhere.
Further, I will offer you $250 via paypal if you can conclusively show us a photomatch for your bat. I have done transactions with a number of rum members who will vouch for my integrity and confirm the validity of my offer. It's an easy $250 for you...
Best,

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
Look not to get in the middle of this fight but the previously mentioned bats that were sold by Adaconda Kay many of them were J93 Large Louisville on the back just like the ones made for the all star game my father has at least half a dozen sitting in a box in storage right now that he's not interested in selling because there just isnt a big market for them, example the one on ebat at 100 bucks. I dont know who has the real bat from the game but its my opinion that with the quality of images available from the game and the distance from which the photos were taken a true photo match is impossible the images just are not clear enough. Add to the fact that the bat in question has limited use and i just cant believe your many photo matches claim. By the way Adaconda Kay also sold authentic replicas of the black Rickey Henderson T141 with the large Lousiville on the back that he used in both the All Star Game and World Series. Im glad your happy with your bat however it seems like you enjoy attacking anyone who is happy an item in their collection. If you feel that there are no good items for sale and that you dont have the need to visit the baord anymore have a good life and find something else that interests you allow those of us who still enjoy the hobby to have fun without constant attacks

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
I am a little perplexed as to why anyone would be so protective of pictures of a bat that may or may nor have been used by a career 250 hitter, that on a good day might be worth a decent swiss watch goes for.Comment

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
You wont post the photos, cause YOU DON'T OWN THE BAT. I'm guessing that maybe your jealous of other people. If you're not going to prove you own the bat or any bat, then don't post and bashing other items.Comment

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
Can't believe a guy would constantly defend he has the actual bat but never shows proof. Your bat isn't as valuable as a Musial, Aaron, Mays or Ruth bat for that matter and if i had one of those bats and someone said I didn't I would post pictures to prove it. I can't figure out why you wouldn't. It's just a bat. Like some have said it makes you wonder if you even own it. You could put the whole thing to rest and make the people doubting you eat crow. I own a Bo bat from 91 and would have no problem showing it. Might not be a valuable one but like I said it's just A BATComment

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
Whats funny about your point is you actually mud sling at someone who advocates that they have something significant and nothing is being offered otherwise to counter that claim. Unless you post a picture or something then stop.

Re: FAKE Bo Jackson 1989 All Star bat on ebay
By now we all understand the iconic Bo bat is not for sale. Would you take a kidney in trade? I have two and only need one. Of course, I will need that elusive photomatch before heading over to the surgeon...

Re: I Just Got My Bo Bat Back From Psa/Dna "All Star Game Bat"
Any updates on this? I came across a photo of Bo supposedly from the All Star Game. Its a little grainy, but shows the bottom of the bat with no "BO" on the knob. Also, the name of the photographer is in the auction for the photo as well. So maybe he can provide a photomatch for the Bo All Star Bat, or have a lead to someone who might have a photo.
