Vintage Baseball Bat
Major problem areas are arrcurate dating of bats, show or reproduction bats being mistaken for vintage originals or store bats thought to be game used! These show/repro bats are usually labeled as mint or nrmt/mt examples of very collectible vintage bats. However these bats were actually made for card or autograph shows from the mid-1980’s through the mid-1990’s when card & autograph shows were sprouting up all over like weeds.Now unfortunately these bats are coming into the market place without most buyers or sellers being able to distinguish a truly vintage bat from a pennies on the dollar reproduction!
If you use these 3 specific tests you should be able to tell!
- Check the bat knob! Top of the line store model bats always have size numbers branded into the bat know! That was how meant to be used bats were manufactured & displayed on store bat racks by size for the public to differentiate on which to buy.
- Collectors place the greatest value on the earliest time frame full sized, facsimile signature model 125 Powerized bats without the word special which actually meant inferior quality wood bat sold at a cheaper price.
- While uncracked bats are best and most desirable, cracked and repaired (skillfully done solid tightly fitted smooth crack or cracks only, not touching up any lettering) is very acceptable and still retains much of the value as long as the facsimile signature and all labeling is easily read & all original not touched up.
