Hi
I'm sure that others can speak with more authority about this, but I have bought a few bats that were accompanied with the PSA/DNA letter of authenticity that does not mention any specific grades. That sort of letter will usually offer to provide a "full authentication upgrade" for an additional fee. Since the letter that you have seen puts the bat in Jeter's hands, I would expect that it would get a fairly high grade were it to get the full treatment from PSA/DNA. As for myself, I would probably be comfortable with a bat accompanied by such a letter, providing that the bat looked good to me. You might want to go to the Game Used Universe forum and ask the experts there about Jeter's (or any other player's) specs prior to making a big purchase. Anyway, you are undertaking what I have found to be a wonderful,risky, expensive, and addictive little hobby. Congratulations. Mark
