1907-08 Spalding Autograph Ty Cobb Bat

[bat_master]

Hi Everyone,

I'm sure many of you have seen my post about this bat in the "recent pickups" section.

For those who haven't this bat is a 1907/08 Spalding Autograph Model Ty Cobb bat. The kicker is that this bat is that not only is this bat of professional length and weight, it is also hand turned making it one of only four known hand-turned Spalding Ty Cobb bats. Does not have the Spalding Trademark logo on the knob. Measures 34.5" (a length not available in retail bats) and weighs 38 oz. Has all the attributes of a Cobb gamer including light cleat marks and possible tobacco stains. No handle tape is found, however I have been told that was normal for early Cobb bats.

A near one of a kind piece for the serious collector. Email me for details.

Hi Everyone,

This bat is currently still available. Although I do have a deal currently in the works I'm less than pleased at the progess of the negotiations and will sell it if I receive a comparable offer.

Price is available upon request for serious buyers. On Tuesday, January 23rd I had the bat examined and graded by Dave Bushing of MEARS in Milwaukee, WI. The bat received a grade of A6.

Please send price and photo requests or trade offers to t_byington@yahoo.com.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

The Cobb is still available. The Buy It Now price on ebay is high on purpose. The first $35,000 cash/trade takes it and I will deliver within 600 miles. Otherwise, it will be sent Fed Ex insured.

For trade I'd accept almost any pre-1970 hall of fame game used bats. Payment plans are also considered.

Please make an offer if interested or if you have some bats you would like to work out a full trade with.

Thanks
