I was told that everyone should stay away from this one....

Whats the problem with it?

Why were you told that everyone should stay away from it? At least 4 people didn't get that message with bids of approximately $26,000, $30,000, $35,000 & $36,000...

Told by whom? Very cryptic post... Let's hear the issues!

One I believe being Dave Bushing....who bid!

Can you explain why? I always find it funny, someone will ask you a question. Yet you always pass over it and never answer it!

Because someone asked JT about the bat and he said that the bat looked off, as in the wood grain looked wrong. Grain ending on barrel end was off. No player characteristics but a bunch of little dark ding marks all over the bat top to bottom which was a red flag.

Anything else you need, Brock? You know what I think is funny? Is that if you want to know something or have a question that you would like to ask, there's a little link on my username that allows you to pm me, or you can email me directly. Or you can research items on your own perhaps?

What questions have I passed up and never answered? Send me some links.

Let's see. Several people in this thread asked you about what was wrong with it after you posted" you were told to stay away". Yet you never replied back with why and it's been a week!

Also I did do my research on it before the auction ended. And I felt it wasn't right. But maybe other members who don't collect bats would like to know what's wrong with it.

Do you mind explaining in detail what you felt wasn't right about the bat to help educate those of us who might not have known?

Thanks,

Im all over this site and dont read every single post. If you want to get a hold of me, you know how to do that. And if you had issues with the bat, why didn't you chime in with your opinion on it a week ago when people were asking about it instead of waiting for my response? Let's hear it, what's your issues with this bat that you've been holding onto this whole time?

Feel free to send me links to posts I've never replied on as well.

Let's see. First off if you know you have a game used Babe Ruth bat, you will not be selling it on eBay.

Second, the center brand looks to date 1923-25 based on Maltas book(even though mears will just call it a 1920s). And according to Maltas book, it doesn't show Ruth ordering 35 inches during those years.

Because other people have listed reasons why they feel it's not good. I didn't go posting something saying someone told me to stay away but not give any details.

I don't have links. But we've PM'd before where you asked me a question and I gave a answer yet when I asked the same question you ignored it.

I'm not following. I just checked and your last pm to me was asking if I wanted to buy a jersey from you, which I replied. Then your pm before that was answered as well. Only time I don't answer is if it's not needed. As in, your statement doesn't need a response, it's just a statement. That goes for anyone. No need to respond back with a "Yep", or "I hear ya". I appreciate you answering my questions, whichever those may have been.

Regardless, this isn't really the thread to talk about this, but I don't like being called out either. You have a problem or question regarding my responding skills, pm me.

Thanks Brock. I believe I have that book somewhere; I'll need to dig it up and start referencing it more often.

Best-
