Game Used Bats Molina and Pujols

[variousvintagevalues]

Could someone PLEASE help me determine what these might be worth???!
One is a game used Molina Bat, the other is a game used Pujols bat. The Molina is cracked. I just don't want to be taken by this person, & I WANT THE BATS BAD!

There are several Facebook groups on Game Used bats with great knowledgable members, join one and try there.

You can google auction results too. Here are some possible comps for the Pujols. Autograph and game attributation will obviously affect pricing.

I don't know how accurate this is today, but here is a price guide:

Also, maybe you are already certain of authenticity but you can't take for granted that bats are actually game used just because they may look like it and someone says they are. I have no opinion on those bats but you do need to be cautious and get input from folks familiar with the bats of those players, and not just from the pricing perspective.

Major League Baseball has auctions on their website?? I had no idea. How do they get these items and where is the money going?

I believe that the teams add their own items to the MLB auction platform (teams used to have sole, sites that were part of the bigger MLB auction umbrella) and the $ goes to the team and often their Charities.

Very true. One thing I did notice from a google image search is that they both DO like Marucci bats. As a Giants guy, I know I want a SAM (or LS) bat for Bonds, a LS for Posey, a Tucci for Panda, etc. Bonds used a few Youngs, a few Old Hickorys, etc., but (for me, at least) I want a guy’s preferred brand.

Even though Pujols is surefire HOF, it looks like his “stock is down.” 2013 would be an Angels season. His StL fans are kind of “over him” and his Angels tenure has not been spectacular.

And, another thing....

Yadi had a great 2013 season; Pujols, not so much. If I can date a bat to one specific year, I don’t want a down year.
