Help on what I think is a cool Mantle Bat

[GrayGhost]

I don't have any pictures yet, but I just picked up a "Mickey Mantle Line" bat, by Hillcrest sporting goods. I found a softball bat of the MML on the bay, but this one also is a "Major League" model w the block signature of JACKIE ROBINSON.

Condition is decent overall, haven't checked it for big cracks, but does anyone have an approximate idea on value? Thanks.

Bumping.

Mine is richer Brown and instead of "softball" it says "Special" "Major League" and then Jackie Robinson under it. Ive never seen one. Any bat guys help?

Jackie Robinson retail bats are somewhat common, although desireable as a display item....Depending on how it looks, you may be looking at a $30-$50 item

Its a "Mickey Mantle Line" Jackie Robinson Bat, that has to be harder to find than a regular LS store model?

Bat ended up selling on eBay for $52....My estimate wasn't that far off

Hillcrest made a MM line and a Joe D line they sell on par with the sears Ted Williams bat. Nothing really special

Well, I had never seen that bat and had seen dozens of Sears Ted Williams bat. Regardless, it sold for what it did and Im sure the winner will be happy with it.
