Default Restored Decal

Does a dot dash dot bat with a restored decal lose most its value?

The item is a cool looking display item but the value is at times diminished with the decal. It doesn't belong there

I went to the Adamstown market today and saw a great D&M bat was a great decal. It was priced to sell at $325.00 but when you took a close look then decal had square cuttings on its edges. A dead giveaway to me but not to others.

The seller is a long time memorabilia dealer at flea markets who might not have known what he had.

I'm sure most adults don't realize they listen to their parents until they are older and re-living life through their kids. My father always said, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything!
I wish more parents would have said this to their children.

Can anyone take a joke around here? Taking ourselves way too seriously. Not to mention patting ourselves on the back.

Maybe I didn't use the best wording to make my point. The way a decals corners are cut is a dead giveaway on weather it is a repo or not. Due to the interest on the bat from others there, the bat most likely sold and sometime in the future that person might be disappointed to learn he has a repo.

Better to know what you are buying than to buy and then fret on an online forum that you might have made a mistake or justify you purchase that you think that part of the purchase is real.

Is there any type of general pricing guide to bats anywhere. Again I know as with anything, the price paid is what a buyer is willing to pay and what it is worth to him. Just looking for a general guide to help.

The bat in the condition it is in is at about $75.00. One with a nicer patina , no cracks and 36" could bring $200 or higher. Same bat with a good decal would be $1500 up. Imo
