I have seen and owned several 1/2" and 1'4" bats and none of mine are gamers. I think it depends on how you measure and the manufacturing process. Many bats have rounded ends. Do you measure to the rounded corner or the the furthest point? Also, people selling want their bat to be as long as possible to add value. Therefore, a 33" bat considered by most collectors to be on the short side, might be more saleable a bit closer to 34". And of course, back in the day, store model bat manufacturers might not have been very tight on specs. for bats.
