Just picked it up at the game on the 7th. The store had a Rickie Weeks price tag on it so I scored! All Prince fans know he used Weeks's Sam's last year.

Holo says it was cracked on 8/24/09 vs Nationals 9th inning. I video matched it on mlb tv. It was real easy because of the tape job and the black marker box on the knob. The bat is covered with ball marks! He used it for the entire National's series and then on and off for at least a month!

How are the prices at the store this year? Are they closer to reality?

sweet deal. out of curiosity though why does he keep using other people's bats? the guy is one of the best players in the game you would think that the bat companies would supply him with whatever he wants.

More again, 2 years ago you could get a Prince GU bat for $350. Now I heard $700-$800. The Weeks price tag was still higher than $350!

Here are some examples I saw:

Alcides Escobar rc Friday night throwback jersey----------1500

R Weeks helmet----------300

hart bat-----------------400

couple Councel bats-----400!

Yovanni Gallardo jersey-----1000

prince auto bat/not gu--------550

weeks bat--------------500!

He started using Weeks's and started hitting very well. Ball player are like that. This year he seems to be back to LS M9 two-tones and The Dream bats again. If he gets in a slump I bet he goes back to Weeks Sams.

All of these guys except Prince would be considered commons or semistars at best you can get stars for cheaper than that.

Watching the game last night, Prince was clearly still using sharpied out Weeks SAM bats.

Wonder why he hasn't gotten his own yet??

The prices are high, but i tend to have a better piece of mind buying from the team.

Believe it or not MLB holos dont command much of a premium though they should. On Ebay is where I get mine teams are usually more pricey and to me if the hologram checks out when you look it up in the database it does not matter if it was purchased directly from the team. A few examples of my purchases within the last year all mlb hologramed gamers in one piece and from Ebay: $650 (Braun); $400 Berkman, $400 Morneau, $600 Thome, $500 (from MLB Auctions not Ebay), Longoria, $500 Chase Utley, under $250 Helton and Adam Dunn. I picked up a Prince signed and gu on his own model for $700 and change. Someone on here was just selling a Michael Young for 200 and something that was MLB holoed.

That was me selling the young bat. I paid more for the holo'd bat than i sold it for but i also paid 200 for an uncracked young bat so it was a wash. If your team has a player foundation you can get some good deals on mlb holo'd stuff. I'd pay a premium for a mlb holo over steiner et al any day.
