T85 Louisville Slugger bat

[ken H]

I have a George Brett T85 bat that never made it to George form the factory. I got it in 1986 from a HB saleman. What is it worth and if i can get George to sign it would it be worth more?

Any ideas how to get him to sign it?

It would be difficult to price this bat as it is a mint bat manufactured during a period (1986-89) when there were quite a few signature model George Brett promo and show bats made, including T85 bats. If you received it in 1986, the bat should be unfinished, 34.5 inches and 32 ounces to have a chance at being a professional model bat. That being said, signed George Brett mint promo bats can be found on Ebay in the $125 to $175 dollar range, with some a bit less than that. For premium value, the bat would at least need to be a documented H & B model ordered by Brett and matching the specifications of bats manufactured for his personal professional use.
