That way it's no longer a fake bat and you can keep it in your collection and enjoy or you can sell it and provide full disclosure without concern about someone later trying to pass it off. I did something similar with a Mantle/Maris signed baseball. The Maris was fake, so I removed it while leaving a trace of the signature. So now I have a real ball without the cloud over it from the forgery.
Agree. If the bat is game used and only the stamping is forged, remove/sand off the stamping and sell as a game used bat.
