Dan-
These are 2 fine examples of well used Ripken bats.

How about $4,150 and you throw in that rare Ripken green St. Patrick's jersey?

Thanks.

Ripken Walker Finish F149 Game Used Bat - 87-89 taking offers!

I am relisting my Ripken Walker finish bat (price reduced) giving forum members first crack before I send it off to the auction house. Please send your offers to me.........I'm asking a VERY fair price for this bat considering provenance and use!
Bat matches factory records according to Mike Specht here on the forum:

1 - 35" / 33 oz Walker finish (65 total ordered 86/88) asking $2,000.00

Exerpt on Ripkens F149's:
Here is the deal on Ripken Model F149 bats:

Ripken did not order any F149 bats during the 1983-1985 labeling period. There may have been some that were made for him that do not show up on the records, but the records are clear -- no orders for F149 bats until 1986. In the 1986-1989 labeling period (specifically between 8/27/86 and 6/21/89) Ripken had 17 orders of F149 bats totaling approximately approximately 324 bats. All of the professional model F149 bats ordered were 35 inches in length and most were 33 ounces, with just two orders being 32 ounces. Most were Hickory Finish, with with about 20 % being a Flame Treated Finish and about 20% being the two tone light golden handle / hickory barrel Walker Finish.

Here are the records for Model F149 during the 1986-09 period:

35 inches / 32 ounces Walker finish two orders totaling 30 bats 1988
35 inches / 33 ounces Walker finish two orders totaling 35 bats 86/88
35 inches / 33 ounces Hickory finish eight orders totaling 174 bats 87/88
35 inches / 33 ounces Flame Treated four orders totaling 52 bats 88/89
35 inches / no wt Flame Treated one order totaling 17 bats 1989


Only one single F149 promo bat was made during this labeling period , so chances are high that a F149 bat from this period at least made it into the Oriole clubhouse.

There is no documented evidence that Ripken ordered any Model F149 bats after 6/21/89.

Good luck in future collecting.
