Think I Finally 100% Matched My Mauer! Thoughts?

This looks like a dead on match to me, but would like opinions on it as I am wanting to see the match, you guys arent, so I know you'll be honest. What do you think?

[spartakid]

Can you shift the bat so it's in the same position as in the pic? It's easier to tell the marks' positions that way.

I think its looking good. I agree to take a photo at the angle of the live shot to see it better.

That makes three, take a pic at the same angle. And nice bat by the way

You picked out 3 ponts of match, I see a 4th. The "scribble" looking marks near the black ring, going towards the barrel.


I see a 100% photomatch. Nicely done!

When you get older and your eyes start to go, everything will look like "scribble" froma distance. Be thankful for your youth :D

[tbone90]

I'd like to see a pic from the same angle as well but from the pic you posted it looks pretty good to me.

Kyle, thanks for the chuckle. How'd that Rawlings logo get on there??? Everyone's a critic...:rolleyes:

LOL that right there is so true !

[jppopma]

Looks like a good match in my eyes. Kyle, shhhhhh don't let any authenticators see that you can claim a photomatch based on the logos......

[MLB_Authentic]

Its near impossible to photograph it at the backwards angle that he is holding the bat at. I did take another picture at a little different angle, what do you think of this one? Match?

[Manram]

It looks to me like a photomatch. Both pics have the blue spot, in the same place

[markize]

I see 4 different areas that are a match. good looking bat, and nice match!! congrats.

With the help of the world famous Kyle Hess, this bat has been photomatched to 2 Home Runs. Here is a shot from his first inning homerun on May 24th against the Milwaukee Brewers.

[nomarmauerfan]

Nice match. Congrats on a great bat!!!

Thanks Mike, Now I just need to find a way to get Joe to sign it.

[nomarmauerfan]

Try Twinsfest. Just bring a backup item in case he's not signing GU items. It's definitely worth a shot.

Mike

I might have to drive down there and give it a shot. I have never been there. How early would I have to get there to assure myself an autograph?

[nomarmauerfan]

Do not come down on Friday...it's a madhouse. However, Sat and Sun would be better. You'll have to wait a minimum of 4-5 hours to get one. Good luck.

I think I will probably have to give it a shot. What color sharpie? Blue or Black?

I would have him sign it with a blue sharpie. Personally I think it looks better that way

Agreed, blue sharpie is the best looking for sigs.
