Any opinions on this bat's authenticity would be appreciated.

Also, another question. I tried looking this up but couldn't find it anywhere. How can you tell the differences on the finishes of these bats, such as double dipped and what not. I've seen in reference to Jeter bats that they say you can see to much grain if its a souvenir bat or it has a "milky" color to it if its double dipped but don't know what I'm looking at really. Anywhere I can see pics to compare?

Thanks

In my opinion this bat is no good, two red flags i see, the ball marks look way off from normal gamers and the ball mark by the sig apppers to be over the sig. the other being the tape, it looks off for griffey id say a poor attempt to copy it. just my 2 cents

Totally agree about the ball marks. How can anyone legit sell a bat where the ball mark smudges the autograph??

Thanks guys. Totally missed the smudged signature but now that you mention it, makes complete sense.
