Default Ty Cobb giveaway bat

Posted By: John Harrell

Keith,

The bat was a souvenir which I believe was sold at the ball park. A cache of these bats was found a few years back in a warehouse and they have found their way to the market. The bats typically go for between $50-125, depending on condition. Many of the bats are warped and have worm holes due to storage. They came in two lengths, a 30" and a shorter one about 26". They show up on Ebay commonly and there is one up for sale now. You might want to track it. A somewhat lower condition copy sold about 3 days ago for $77. I have one that I bought on Evilbay about 5-6 years ago for $60. Its in nice condition with a strong label but has a slight warp to it and a few worm holes . Most attention is paid to the stamping of the label.

John
