Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I am thinking of selling this bat, but I was wondering what would be a good value on this...There is no signature on the bat which makes me believe that it was probably a decal bat with the decal worn off. It's pretty beat, but hey it's a Cobb bat. Any ideas?<br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/bats001.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/bats005.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/bats004.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/bats003.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/bats002.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>$100-$150. This is by no means an estimate of value. Rather, it is what I as a bat collector would be willing to pay if I came across it. The knob split is a BIG problem for your bat and the chunk off the end of the barrel doesn't help either.

Posted By: <b>brock</b><p>One sold a couple of weeks ago on ebay, i was the under bidder. It was the same type of bat with the decal but it was gone also. It went for $52. This one was from the 20's yours is from 1917-21.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-35-Inch-Baseball-bat-Model-40-TC-TY-COBB_W0QQitemZ220141083959QQihZ012QQcategoryZ50125 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-35-Inch-Baseball-bat-Model-40-TC-TY-COBB_W0QQitemZ220141083959QQihZ012QQcategoryZ50125 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>John Harrell</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />I've seen a number of these type bats on Ebay. You correctly assessed that it is a decal bat with the decal gone. I'd guess that the bat would bring between $50 and $150, depending on which way the wind is blowing on Ebay.<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>Dan yours is a bit better condition than the ebay example and the dash dot dash is far more desireable.

Posted By: <b>brock</b><p>Mike <br />I think the one on ebay is in better shape, because it has way better color, dan's bat looks like someone sanded it down. <br />DAN<br />If you come up with a price please email me, or we could also make a trade i have some nice vintage bats.<br />
