There have been many individual posts, asking for photomatching help. Though I would start one that collectors can add to, in hopes someone can help them find that match. The more helping, the better.

$250 to anyone who can help me photomatch my 1996 Alex Rodriguez Grand Slam Bat, which was used in the game between Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners on 18 April 1996. I'm also still trying to locate a copy of the game on video/DVD.

Regards, Tony

The bat Arod is swinging looks like it might be cupped, is your bat cupped?

Does the source where you got it from have exact proof regarding whether or not the bat is from is first career grand slam? If so, and you know that it is then why do you need more pictures? It all looks and sounds good to me. If you need any help, I can try to find pictures or whatever is needed.

Would the pictures you have now be considered a match?
