David Eckstein Game Used Aotographed Mother's Day Bat

[cliftons8]

Sorry if this is not vintage. Some friends and I are having a cornhole tournament and silent auction to raise money for another friend who has cancer. One of the items donated is a 2009 Eckstein Pink Mother's Day Game used and Autographed bat.
I collect vintage cards, and vintage store model gloves and bats. I really have no idea what I should put as an "estimated value." Can anyone give some idea what to expect?

Thanks for your help,
Mike

P.S. If any of you are in the Louisville area and want to play Cornhole for a good cause on Sept.12th, just let me know.

If it has the MLB hologram on it, an offhand guess would be $300+ (maybe higher). The game used pink bats are in high demand.

If the bat doesn't have the hologram does that lower the value, and if so, would the hologram without a bat have any value? Possibly more?

This bat does have a hologram sticker on the barrell. The bat was provided by David's wife.

The Mothers Day Bats were auctioned off by MLB about a month ago with a starting bid of $300.00. Since Eckstein is a fairly popular player, that bad would have been auctioned for between $400 to $500. The hologram on the bat is nice, but I'd have Eckstein's wife write a nice little letter about the donation and have her sign it.

Just so your bidders are clear, the hologram means it's been authenticated by Major League Baseball. MLB doesn't give COAs, just the hologram.
