Hank Aaron G/U Bat...likely from MVP season??

I don't care what the experts say, I'm not buying a bat from the 50's that has seemingly lost 5 or more oz.

Just me.

I went and logged in to the MEARS website and viewed the LOA listing for the bat in question. The specs listed there are 35" and 34 oz. I have no idea where they got it from that this is a 28 oz bat. Probably an error in the listing.

Hi Tim,
Good catch. I think you're right about the LOO saying 34 oz. You'd think that the consignor would have noticed this already. It's either an error as you say or the bat lost 6 oz. when they sent it to Texas.

Since it is still in the preview stages I'm pretty sure it is just an error. I haven't seen the PSA LOA, but I can't imagine that a 28 oz Aaron bat would have been given a GU8 grade anyway.

At the very least since the A93 model isn't his pro stock model the bat was ordered for Aaron to use. It's not a team index bat.

Agree. I'm usually ok with a few ounces lost throughout the years, but 5+ ounces seems a bit much.

Good catch, Tim
