H&B Sign

If you've seen them offered dozens of times, that's an awful lot of bouncing around from one seller to another for what this guy says there were only 5 of to begin with. Not impossible I guess, but it's much more likely that something with so few examples would sit in someone's collection than to be re-offered every few months like that.

Here's another one from a recent ebay auction.

I'm not positive they are the same size but similar ones are embedded in the sidewalk around the Louisville Slugger factory in Louisville, KY. Every time I go there it seems that one or two are missing.

I laugh everytime I see those on ebay selling for hugh amounts of cash. The ebay seller treasureray has one every couple of weeks available. Legend has it those brass signs came from the now closed Fridays chain of restaurants. Also according to Brian Hillerich from HB, those signs never came from the old HB factory. Brian claimed he had never seen them and if they were from the factory, they would have had the number 125 in place of the BATS letters on the sign.

On the plus side, the signs are well made and are great display pieces if you collect bats. Also if anyone wants to give my $500 for my sign, please contact me immediately and I'll even throw in shipping.
