Thanks for posting that link - it changes things considerably. The only bats I have repaired were in the 'less than $500' value range and were store models.

Advice I have received in this forum has been to not repair cracked gamers. I have three cracked gamers and have gotten used to looking at the nasty cracks. I almost always repair store model bats that are trashed, but I also only buy them because they are trashed and I enjoy doing the repair work.

Yours has been cracked for 90 years presumably, so what's the hurry unless you feel it is unsightly? If repairing to increase value, you probably won't be. If you plan on it being a permanent part of your collection, then do whatever you want, but if I thought Ruth cracked a bat, I would prefer to keep the crack.
