Help With 50's Louisville Slugger bat
 

This is my first post, great site. I own my own site similar to this, focused on LSU collectibles.

My question:

I found these two bats this past weekend. They are LSU game used, professional grade bats, not store models.

I did find one price guide that had store model prices and game used prices (I am guessing MLB game used), but there is no price for non-MLB professional grade bats.

The Kuenn bat is signed by the starting pitcher of the 61 season (also starting QB of LSU that year), plus two other signatures.

One of my embers whats to buy the Kuenn bat and the price guide said $800 for his and $25,000 for th Jackie Robinson (but this is for MLB game used) :

They are nice bats but worth about 50-75 each if they are not cracked.

Thanks, that is what I figured. Since they are LSU game used, they should go up at least $100 (LSU is very collectible).

The Kuenn is cracked but signed.

The Jackie Robinson is near mint.

Just one more question on these bats:

The ends are marked O16 on the Kuenn and R17 on the Robinson.

These are professional grade bats not store models, correct?

They are pro grade wood that was offered to colleges. Not a retail store item
like an MM4 on the knob.
