We have a winner.

Looks like the "Memorabilia Experts" didn't catch the fact the labeling period for the bat was off by over a decade. But it does have a 100% COA.

Do your own research and don't trust any COA 100%, no matter who writes it.

I'm rather surprised they are still in business. They used to have a pretty big hobby presence in the early 2000s, but largely self-destructed when they failed to pay consignors (myself included).

And for as much trouble as they were, their authenticity was never much of a concern. All of the autographed stuff was certed by PSA/Spence and the Game-Used merchandise by Lampson/Bushing/Taube. Looks like they are self-authenticating these days, however.

Hope this helps and FWIW, here's a behind-the-glass example of a genuine 1967 All Star game issued LS pitcher's bat

This crew looked like a clown show every place I saw them. They used to set up near me in Chicago and I was shocked they got some of the items they did. They had some very suspect items and appeared to be running on a shoe string. I agree they were at many shows back in the day, but this bat doesn't surprise me at all.
