Still more questions/comments/answers.

Just to be clear, is there a different LOA for Game Used bats or do all bats have the "Professional Model Bat" designation above the photo of the bat?

No, JoeDfan it is not Tony Gwynn, but rather another left handed hitting HOFer

Is there a standard difference in value between a bat like this and a G.U. bat? Say 25% less etc.?

HOF bat collectors would not want a bat like this in their collections?

Thanks again,

The ones I have say what yours says IF the bat is just a pro stock/team index bat. Sometimes they say "use by the named player cannot be determined" or something like that.

The ones that are game used say the "Professional Model Bat"; but very specifically say in the narrative something like "our opinion that the bat was game used by [Your Player] during the referenced labeling period".

There is a HUGE difference in price on a bat that says "was game used by" and "professional model". Index bats are typically a fraction of the price.

I actually LOVE team index bats, and if it is not a player I have already, would be very interested.

And, darn it. I thought I had it figured out.
