Is this the same bat?

[Shoeless Moe]

Looks like black tape in the 1st one and white in his. I'm not saying all his bats are bad, I'm sure most are fine, but something may be up. I contacted the original seller to take a look and let me know if that is his bat 123 is re-sellling and if there was a J Jackson on it. If so and if not, we have a crook.

Any chance he could be buying old bats with say no 40BR and no players name on it and somehow adding it?

I know its a stretch but Quincy was my favorite show growing up, if only Sam Fujiyama was a Net54 member.

If you look at his past auctions, he sold a 1960's Cobb college bat that looks like the college name was removed and reg us pat was added. He also sold a spalding indoor bat with ty cobb stamped on it which seems very unusual. He's also sold the frisch bat a couple times so I'd say somethings up with seller.
I did buy a Ruth bat from him not too long ago, It took awhile to get it, but it did show up as described.

my guess is he removed the tape, because he added the J Jackson, then polishes up the bat, cuz the coloring is slightly off from the 1st one, but the markings are identical especially at the end of the barrel. Then adds back some other tape and makes it looks old, but he needs to remove the tape b4 polishing, other wise the bat is 2 different colors, after his polish.

And what u found. Now tomorrow or later in the week I'll go thru my old posts cuz I'm sure I noticed something about this seller in the past.

A few years ago, there was one seller in particular whom we caught buying blank 125 bats on eBay and reselling them on eBay after he'd added the names of players like Ruth and Jackson to the barrels. He might have added side writing. The guy got suspended, at least for a while. He called himself "bluechip" something or other.

I feel bad for Dave Bushing who bought the bat I believe. Cause it most likely was a decal it would only be worth under $1,000 Right???

As I understand it, there is ample evidence that major leaguers used decal bats. If a 40JJ decal bat matched Jackson's known preferences for weight and length, and if the knob looks right, then a case could be made that such a decal bat was a professional model and worth more than 2 or 3 thousand bucks. I am curious to learn how this bat will be evaluated.
