When I lived in Michigan went to all flea markets & antique shows. I saw a a Louisville bat rack , old in pieces. I bought it for $65.00. Took it home, put my bats on it, it was great. Had it for many years. We were moving to Las Vegas & I was cutting my collection down. Contacted a auction house & decided to sell the bat rack. Sold it for $1000.00. 2-3 months later saw my bat rack sell for over $10,000. Have seen it sell more then 1 time. Sad day when I saw the bat rack in the auction.. This was in the 1990’s. Oh well, had some other great pickups during the years
