Autographs on other Game Used?

[suave1477]

Hello Members, I would like your opinion as I like getting my Game Used bats autographed. Here is in an interesting twist to it!!

What if you have a players bat and it was Game Used by a different player.
And you have the opportunity to have it autographed.

Would you?
A) Have it autographed by the player who used it?
B) Have it autographed by the player whos Model bat it is?
C) Have it autographed by both?
D) None of the above, just leave it alone?

Depends. Here is how I see it.

1) If the player who used it is a bigger name than the player whose name is on the bat then have the player who used it sign it.

2) If the player whose name is on the bat is a bigger name than the player who used it then don't get it signed.

Here is a related personal story. At Twinsfest this year I got my Alonzo Powell bat used by Scott Leius signed by Scott. He recognized the bat and wrote "GAMER" on it. This bat was the first game used item I purchased and have kept it for almost 20 years.

Autograped by both and the player that used it to inscribe year after signature.

I'd have it signed by the player who actually used it and only by that player, regardless of the relative prominence of the players involved. Perhaps with the notation "Game Used" and with the date or year. Someone looking at the item in a display can then understand what the bat is all about.
