well, if you don't have an oz scale you could find a good digital scale, stand on it without the bat, and then stand on it with the bat and subtract the difference.

If you do have an oz scale, zero it out and then put the barrel on there at the balance point. If you need something to hold it down on the end, put that on the scale first, zero the scale, then weigh as normal

Congrats on the bat. I've heard of people taking bats to the post office to get them weighed.

Thanks! Yeah a member also suggested doing that. I may try it as I have a post office a few minutes from me. I'm just more curious than anything

There are a lot of digital kitchen scales out there that can handle plenty of weight, measure in ounces, and cost under $20. Not at all unaffordable.

So I'm a bit upset right now. I just received in the mail today from JSA what I thought was going to be my LOA as they said it was good at the Tampa show and just had to wait for the LOA to come in aprox 3 weeks. Nope, I got a $200 credit as it came back as inconclusive. So much for taking my photo and saying it was good along with the best piece they've seen this year, etc..

Anyway going to sell it on the bay as I don't want to keep it at this point. I don't know if I can pass the credit along to someone else but I have no use for it after this experience I'm not too high on JSA right now. Very disappointed but wanted you all to know.

Wow! Sorry to hear that bro. These grading companies are so inconsistent. I had a issue similar on a Ruth signed photo. Makes me not even want to buy autographs from either company. Have you tried sending it to psa? (Not like theyre much better) but you never know
