Awesome pickup, Bob! Very cool
Congrats!

Here you go Ben, this is the bat I was REALLY waiting for!

Joe DiMaggio (Hornsby) model H117; circa 1951-52. PSA calls it Pro Stock since it doesn't match his personal ordering records (D29L); but specifically describes "heavy" left barrel contact and ball marks, and the weight is notated on the knob.

Mears gave it a base grade of A8, but deducted a point for the back barrel restoration, so final grade A7. The back barrel looks fantastic, and you can barely tell though.

I think this is as close as I am going to get for a Joe D. gamer without selling a kidney!

Awesome bat, maybe you could sell a B349 bat with a killer nice flame burned finish to help pay for this one.
