Thanks, Jonathan. You have lots experience acquiring very sought after bats, and your warnings are well-taken. In my opinion, it makes great sense for there to be a significant premium for bats that can be proved to be game used by the player in question. Otherwise, I think, we should understand ourselves to be acquiring pro model bats. And when it comes to players from 100+ years ago, I think it's next to impossible to show that a given bat is gamed used by the player---other than to point to side writing and draw the obvious inference. I'm pleased just to get a block letter bat of a player from long ago because I can usually surmise that if he ordered the bat, then he probably at least hit some BP with it.
