hi guys, this is my first post on this side of the fence...i'm starting to get into game-used bats. i bought a 2007 A-Rod (PSA/DNA 7) and Tony Gwynn's Hit #2800 bat (PSA/DNA 9)...

before i go crazy buying bats...i have an important question:

why are some bats graded numerically by PSA/DNA and others just authenticated (complete with photos, research, analysis, etc...)?

i am considering purchasing a Jeter bat, looks great, excellent game use, and even the LOA from John Taube says it has "evidence of excellent use" and definitely was used by Jeter during that labeling period...

so, should i be comfortable buying such a bat vs. one that has been numerically graded?

can anyone shed some light on this please?

thanks!
