That would be me, thanks for thinking of me. Yes, when I found out about the bat, I knew I had to have it.
It's now "home" with me and Carlton would be thrilled to know I had his bat in my collection. I've got to give a huge thank you to my good friend JoeDfan, who not only alerted me to this thread, but negotiated a deal with the seller and as the greatest birthday gift ever, paid for half of the bat. He's seen my collection and we both knew that bat had to be with me. Sean, your the best, thank you.
I know the term Grail is thrown around a lot, but this for sure was mine. I've been collecting Carlton for over 20 years and have never had the chance to own anything that was his.
