Default Lou Gehrig rookie era game used bat on Ebay

Any thoughts on the Gehrig game used rookie era bat for $180,000 obo on Ebay? The photos show Gehrig using a similar looking bat,but IMO for this kind of money, it would be a tremendous leap of faith that this is the same bat in the photos. http://cgi.ebay.com/1923-25-Lou-Gehr...item3cab6e2f07

Absolutely no chance without provenance.

Upon futher review, by reading the description a few more times along with the Q and A at the bottom of the page, and certs from TSA? I don't believe Gehrig had any connections to this bat.

The guy is a joke just like his items. You should read the posts over on GUU about his items.

IMO, and sorry if this offends anyone on this board... Whether game-used collector, seller, buyer or authenticator, I have yet to read a single description from a seller and/or authenticator that I buy. Each seems to be written with a stretch, wish, hope and prayer. Serious collectors, please set me straight.
As for the Gehrig listing, the seller's description tactic "the more words the better" hurts more than helps.

as a collector of game-used bats, i will NOT buy or even consider a bat that has not been seen by John Taube of PSA/DNA. his opinion is paramount in the world of game-used bats (IMO). regarding this particular bat, 'leap of faith' is a good term here. why is there not a close-up shot of the name on the barrel?

There was lengthy discussion of this bat on the GUU board, and everyone there pretty much agreed it was a bad joke.
