Louisville Slugger/ Powerized now a Sticker

If this is the future of game used bats (decals) it is a concern for me as a collector, as it is for players who should not want a ball to be hit off the plastic label.

I put two threads because when I was done and posted the first one (pine tar and Sticker), I realized the sticker issue was very important and deserved its own thread. Would a player want to hit the ball off the sticker and have the ball I believe possibly "slide" off the bat. The other important issue is for the collector. As time goes by and the sticker peels off I feel it impacts the hobby of collecting bats, that the bat is cheapened by not being branded. I felt it important enough to post with just the sticker issue, and the initial post would drop down. Also you cant delete posts.

This week I received from MLB Auctions a Michael Cuddyer C360, used last month while the Mets played San Francisco. This is the first time I've noticed that a Major League bat has the Louisville Slugger, and the "Powerized" label joined together in a decal applied to the bat.
