Thanks guys. I haven't bought a baseball cdv in a long time. I couldn't pass this one up for some reason.

Incredible image, Gary!

Are those the type of bats that had the wound leather handle grips? The one on the right sure looks like it.

Regardless... Congrats on a great pickup!

It sure looks like it, Mark. That definitely puts wound handle bats into the 1860s.

Lucky enough to add this Rockford Peaches Carolyn Morris press photo to my ever growing Peaches collection....feel free to get in touch with me if you have anything you think I might be interested in. Thanks.

Bought this bat last night. As just a single player collector for bats it is my first new to me model bat in a very long time. I now have 14 different Wade Boggs LS Flame Tempered models. Can't wait to get it and clean it up so it displays better.

I flew to Pittsburgh for the Monroeville show last weekend. I’m trying to get a complete run of game used bats for the 1971 Pirates. I’m limiting my efforts to position players who had at least one at bat and played at least one inning in the field. There are 18 such player. I’ve managed to get 14 of them so far. I love player nicknames. One of my favorites was Gene Clines who teammates nicknamed “Little Angry” I had hoped to have him sign that on my bat but unfortunately he died recently. When I saw the opportunity to get Richie Hebner “Grave Digger” Bob Robertson “The Mount Savage Strong Boy” and Dave Cash “Action Dog” I figured I better get it done now.

Those are nice with the nicknames. Good luck on getting the other 4 you need.
