Buying All Astros Bats!

Re: Buying All Astros Bats!

Forum readers-
In a previous post, Chris Boyd indicates he has over 1,200 bats. Has anyone received a complete listing of these bats?

Thanks.

Howard, Why are you asking forum readers? Why don't you e-mail, PM, or ask Chris directly? It sounds like you're trying to call him out or you don't believe him. In your later post, you say something like "I sure would like to see such as list". If you have a problem with his post, then say so. Sounds like Henry Junior High stuff to me. If you think there is a credibility issue, state your facts, and get on with it.

Chris responded to the initial post on this thread with the following:"I Have over 1200 currently in inventory from 1962 to last week".

I resonded to Chris with an email, seeking his list. He indicated he would send me the list broken out by a specific team, year, etc. I informed him that I have customers seeking various teams, years, brands, etc., and it would be easier to send me the list in an alphabetical format. He never forwarded the list. Chris has a web site, and one would assume he would have a listing of the bats available, considering he did make the post here. He does not have these bats listed on his site, and now it appears he has no listing, either. I'm simply asking if another Forum reader has it, and if so, if they can forward it.

You note, "...you don't believe him". No, I don't believe Chris has 1,200 bats. That's a huge inventory requiring quite a bit of stroage space and $$$$. It's a bit hard to believe Chris, or for that matter, any dealer/collector would have such an inventory of bats dating back over 40 years and not have a list available. Chris also has a web site, however, the bats are not listed on it, either.

Previously on this site, he indicated he had team contacts in the Astros clubhouse for bats, however, when a call was placed to the Astros equipment manager, it was learned that the bats Chris was offering were recently purchased from the teams retail store. Likewise, he was offering a Pujols bat that was sold on ebay in 2 seperate pieces, however, Chris repaired it and made no mention that he glued the pieces together, added pinetar and doctotred the knob with stars. We only learned of this incident with the bats when he was questioned on this site.

Should Chris or another Forum reader have such a list, I would enjoy seeing it. I can be reached at the email below.
