I agree that I think this bat went way cheap. Hopefully I (we) are correct!

This bat was on Ebay a couple of times in the past few years, forget the asking price, maybe someone else knows.

If Carroll did not appear in the majors or minors why would he have bats made at the factory with his name? Perhaps MGH or another expert could chime in, but why would a non major or minor leaguer have their own bats made? I'm still skeptical as were the buyers obviously viewing the Legendary auction a few years ago, but you and another bidder in the Mearss obviously felt different.

Time will tell if u find another buyer in that range. I think it went high, but good luck. Ya never know.

On a different board, someone said a different lot sold for a lot cheaper than before, so the pricing 'bounce' can go both ways.
