Jim Edmonds Bat Barrel

[bigtruck260]

OK - I am still not really a fan of this type of card. If the bat is busted beyond repair...I can accept it though.

This is an auction for a Jim Edmonds bat barrel card... Based on the centering of GENUINE above the facsimile sig, is there a chance that this barrel came from a replica bat? I would also expect to see part of the model number too. maybe I am wrong....

Here is what I am talking about. I am using an image from my Edmonds bat for comparison purposes. I knwo that my model is a different font, but I have owned replica bats with similar fonts - and they were centered like this.

Does anyone have an Edmonds model bat with a centered GENUINE...?

One more comparison shot vs. an issued bat...

I agree with you...

Mike Who?

And for $800 you could get 2 nice whole Piazza gamers, not just a sliver of one.

Dave, good catch! That's clearly a souvenir bat barrel, probably one of many that was signed and marketed through Tri-Star.

Worse yet, is that it is numbered 4/7!

There's probably a Pi, az, za, Do, dge, rs out there somewhere!

I just picked up two Piazza whole gamers last month for $600 shipped!

I pity the poor fool who buys that card!
