Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this. The bat is about 6ft tall. The inscription reads "Old Spice Salutes Another #1 Performer, Congratulations Billy Martin, August 10 1986".

I know this was the day that his number was retired at Yankee stadium. I am unable to find pictures of the presentation. Any thoughts on value?

I have seen prices for presentation bats all around the board. I think it depends on the player. I saw a 1938 Babe Ruth presentation bat go for 1,800 and Mickey Mantle 20th Anniversary of his retirement signed and UDA go for 17,000. I have also seen some go for as low as 50.00.

I think yours is unique being it is so big and it can be directly tied to his official retirement . I located a few pics on Getty from his Yankee Stadium retirement but no pics of the bat sorry.
