Did you inquire how much Henrich or his family was paid for the bat? Did you inquire why Bushing had no clue it might be a streak bat the first time he bought and sold it but then decided it might be after he bought it back? (In other words, the leading expert just negligently left a fortune on the table the first time and lucked out because the first buyer was worried about the ball markings?) Did Henrich recall when, or why for that matter, Dimaggio gave him the bat? Were the other bats Henrich had also DiMaggio bats? By the way, just my opinion, but the convenient part about an executive of the buyer happening to recall being told by DiMaggio that he had given Henrich a streak bat (a fact apparently not documented anywhere else) seems a bit untrustworthy without more.
