I was wondering if anyone could estimate (guess?) what the "mark-up" would be for a pink Mother's Day bat. For example, if Player A's regular game-used bat sells for $400-$500, approximately what should a pink Mother's Day bat go for?

I realize this could vary considerably, depending on the player, etc. But I was hoping some of the resident experts here might provide some guidance.

Thanks a lot.

Last year's Pink Bats sold for huge money.
Arod $4,025
Jeter $6,325
Giambi $2,525
Swisher $1,050
Dunn $2,575
Griffey $3000 (bat was unused from the auction pics)
D Wright $5,024 Nomar $3,085, Mench unused $740

Anyone else know what some of them sold for last year?

This year the Vlad bat was on ebay went for little over $600 (didn't meet reserve) and Hunter Pence sold for over $1,000 and didn't meet reserve.
I'm thinking with this being the second year, the prices will drop on these some. I'd still expect them to go 2x-3x what their normal bat goes for.... I just wish some would get put up on mlb.com.....
