Ty Cobb Bat
 
Posted By: <b>Todd</b><p>Can anyone tell me the value of this bat? I'm pretty sure it's from the 1911-1916 labeling period. I don't have the length right now but I will have it later. Any possibility that Cobb could have used this bat as I know he was known to use some decal bats during his playing days?<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn257/TJE42404/TYCOBBBAT4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn257/TJE42404/TYCOBBBAT3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn257/TJE42404/TYCOBBBAT2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn257/TJE42404/TYCOBBBAT1.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>That's a beauty...I would guess you're in the $1,000-$1500 range for that bat. Doubtful that Cobb ever used it. I know there has been at least one Cobb Decal bat has been sold as a gamer, but I still haven't seen conclusive proof that Cobb ever used a decal bat in a major league game.

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Beauty... The value is largely dependent upon the decal condition, and aside from the lone scratch, yours looks pretty good. These are always in high demand...<br /><br />Dan is right on with the price... I would say its worth perhaps even a bit more ($1,400 - $1,800) if you were to consign it to a high-end auction like Mastro, Lelands, Hunts or REA.

Posted By: <b>John Harrell</b><p>Great bat!!! The label looks to be 90% or better. Aside from the grain separation in the decal it's a beauty. I'd guess $1500 or maybe a bit more depending on where it is sold. I doubt that this particular bat was a Cobb gamer.<br /><br />John
