Casey Stengel Game Used Old Timers Day Bat

[yanks12025]

In historic's auction they have Casey Stengel's old timers game used bat from 1953-Braves vs. Cardinals. The thing i don't get is that the center label dates from 1965-69. What are your thoughts about it.

The bat was not manufactured in 1953. Possibly it is an Old Timers Game from 1965 (1973) or later that primarily featured members of the 1953 Braves and Cardinals teams, along with other former members of the clubs. Who knows. The first thing to do is ask Historic for a copy (or at least a transcript) of the John Taube LOA and see what John says. The liklihood is that John's letter will make much more sense than the auction description and pics.

Mike,
Just sent them a message about the letter and will reply when they write back.

Looking forward to the response. A phone call to John (if no response from Historic) next week would probably clarify the issue as well. Keep us informed.

Any word on the status of this bat?

[yanks12025]

They have not answered my question yet, so i'll call John later today about it.

[yanks12025]

I sent John an email and he has not wrote back yet. But i went and looked at the listing again and it don't show PSA/DNA under Authentication anymore, just historics auction house letter?

That's kind of weird. I wonder why it changed? I wonder what the history of the bat is?
