Default Here it sold in Nov 2011

http://proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.as...&lid=11893526#

for $300

the shady seller though is stating 1910's - that's a nice touch to up the bidding.

Ebay sellers desciption:

This is a Great, Very Rare, Early Shoeless Joe Jackson baseball bat. This wonderful Old piece has a Great, Early design, with an almost non-existant knob, is marked "Zinn Beck Bat Co. - Greenville, South Carolina - Diamond Ace - Type of Bat Used by Jackson", is from around the 1910's, the Black Sox era, Rare to Find and would be a wonderful addition to any collection. This is a Very substantial piece of lumber, measuring approx. 35" long and weighing 37.5 ozs, just like Black Betsy. This appears to be in Good, Solid condition, with some typical issues, and displays MUCH better than the pictures show.

Original sellers description:

...seldom seen manufactuer and seldom seen with Jackson endorsement...condition issues (cracked, repaired, faded wood, chips) but still displays nicely and being this RARE, any condition is a find...if near mint its worth $400-500!! Measures 35'' and is very thick compared to most...

That seller on Ebay is as shady as they come.
