I agree. The pre-war bats are rare by almost any measure but are often not too expensive. I think that one thing that keeps down the price of some older bats is that it is easier to determine whether a newer bat has been used by a given player (via photos, complete bat orders, well known personal characteristics) than it is for a vintage bat. On the other hand, vintage collectors have side writing to give at least some of their bats the desired provenance.
