Babe Ruth Bat is Back

[sayhey24]

I see the Babe Ruth "rookie era" bat that was sold for $1,000 (and then apparently unsold) on Ebay last year is now up for auction. There was quite a spirited thread about it last year -- I tried to bring it back up to the top, but failed.
Did anyone ever find out what happened -- did the person who bought it on ebay get to keep it?

How was the bat bought for $1k? Sorry, don't know the story.

Albert, Here's the link to the original Ebay auction -- a lot of three antique baseball bats that included the Ruth bat. I believe it may have been a "buy it now".

Greg- thanks for the reply.. the link doesn't seem to be working. I'm trying to get it to work.. I'm normally pretty good at tweaking URL's guess not this one.:(

The ebay link actually worked for me earlier -- but now it says the item is too old and is no longer listed. This should be the link to last year's thread.
