HOF'er George Kelly "game used" bat, legit?

[yanks12025]

Pretty sure you bought that off me years ago?? I know I used to own it at one time. But with zinn beck bats you can never know 100%. They have been documented as being used by players but it's not like hillerich & bradsby where they have shipping records.

Also mears does make mistakes/labels bats what they might not be. Like in their last auction I bought a hillerich & bradsby bat stamped with Chester Club and it had the last name Dugan stamped on the barrel and knob. They attributed it to Joe Dugan. Not really sure how it can be attributed to Joe Dugan considering it was made before he played and why would he use a bat with chester club stamped on it.

They also had a bat attributed to being used by either Rick Farrell or his brother. Again not sure how they could connect it to those two players because the bat just had the last name Farrell stamped on it and during that time their were several minor league players with the same last name.
