JF Hillerich and Son Lajoie Bat In Goldins

[eastonfalcon19]

Does anybody know why the Lajoie JF Hillerich and Son bat was pulled from Goldins? or is it still in the auction? I looked and I couldn't find it. If it was pullled, I wonder why it was?

Good question. Remind me, did the bat have Lajoie's name on it? Or was it merely said to have been made according to his exact specifications?

Mark, no name just made to his specifications. I believe the bidding was around $3200. Do you think that’s the reason they pulled it? It came with a letter from PSA.

I reached out to them about it because they listed it as game used by Lajoie but it wasn't. Johns letter just called it a lajoie model bat. So they ended up pulling it

Thanks Brock. Probably a long shot but you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the letter for it do you? Just thought I'd ask.

The lajoie bat was consigned to Goldin Auctions by me.

In the event anyone wants another look at the Nap Lajoie bat that was briefly listed in a recent Goldin Auction, Taube has it available on his site.

It's a beautiful bat. If you don't mind me asking. Where did you acquire the bat?

[Bigcatbaseball]

Many years ago, directly from Taube.
