I think its because of the Genuine and also the way the Powerized is. Either way the bat was ended and someone bought it for $3,500. So I'm sure well see it eventually down the road either relisted because of it being returned or sold in a major sports auction

Correct. Genuine is 59-60 and the Powerized appears to be the straight version from 1960.

Just noticed this bat is now in mears and they call it a pro model and ordered by Aaron from 1955 or 57. Feel bad for the person who’s gonna drop big bucks on this one.

Oh my god!
Correct, 220 ebay index bat - now over 1,000 at auction
Proper education is an absolute in this hobby.

This was troys reply to my email asking how he determined its a 1955/57 and not a 1959/60 bat.
