If the bat currently measures 33", then in my opinion, its too short to be a gamer. It doesn't look like 1 1/2 inches is cut off since it appears it starts to flare out to the knob which would only add a 1/2 inch or so. Certainly a great looking bat tho.
Did you get any other bats from the guy? Matt

This collector has alot of vintage stuff to sell.Many old gloves (I will check them out next visit) He was busy going thru 40 or so boxes of sports collectables. He's wanting to sell it all, he remarked we can't take it with us, which is very true!

As far as value, its tough. The 35 inch 125 Cobb I just bought, I paid 800 for. If yours had a knob, we would know if it was pro model or store model. I would say value is maybe 500 with the strong markings. Hopefully some others will chime in.
Thanks Matt

Louisville Slugger has good Q & A that explains the different H & B logo's, etc. that help date their bats.
The experts examine the logo, length, weight + providence,barrell markings,etc. to ID a Game Used bat. Store Model bats length are usually stamped on the end and weigh less. Example: A L/S Mantle store model bat are stamped MM4 for 34 inches, MM5 for 35 inches and so on.. Example:L/S 125 Cobb game used bats were anywhere between 34.25 to 34 1/2 inches in length I believe L/S stamped the length's on most series 40 Store Model logo, but not sure when they started to stamp Initials + lengths on the 125 Pro models. I'm no expert by any means, just a rule of thumb for me--- Last edited by Directly; 05-07-2009 at 10:05 PM.
