I agree that the term photomatch gets tossed around alot, but in this case...it's fitting. It's a great bat and a soild photomatch. More than enough similarities that are visible - even after the after the fact use.

I agree and think you did a real good job matching up the markings.

Absolutely 110% photo match. Not a doubt in my mind. Yes, the bat received additional use after the pic but the marks match perfectly. Its a dead on photo match.

I've found that heavily used items can take longer to match than stuff with light to medium use since repeated use and pine tar applications, etc. can mask individual characteristics. Anyway, imo your bat is a 100% match. I'll also second bigtruck. I've seen plenty of sketchy "photo matches" around here but this one's really a no-brainer. Nice bat.

Speaking of Pujols bats, a fan at Coors Field got a VERY NICE souvenir yesterday...

Pujols swung and missed to strike out and end an inning and his bat came out of his hands and went about two sections PAST the 3rd base dugout and about 10 rows up into the stands.

I kept watching and he went straight into the dugout and the Ushers just went to check on the fan. I never saw a Rockies Rep try to obtain it from the fan.

I'd be 100% confident if I was purchasing this bat. Perfect match in my eyes. The bat definitely has some addition use after the Tino HR.

I agree. Obvious photomatch. There is no way two bats could have such similar ball marks, bat streaks, weighted donut residue, stains, etc.

Here is a negative of the image. No doubt that it is a match.

Take a look at the grain above the center brand in the reverse image.
