Manny Ramirez bat question
Can anyone tell me if Manny ever used a Nokona bat during the 2006 or 2007 seasons? I just purchased a bat with a PSA DNA coa that says it was used by Manny. The auction said it was game used, and with the coa, I thought it was a safe buy.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Is it the Nokona with the Dominican flag and some tape near the knob that was for sale from the seller dolphinboy on ebay?

BTW this would be a good question for Bobby, the resident Manny expert, to answer.

No, it's not the dolphinboy bat, it is this bat.

Re: Manny Ramirez bat question
Yes I did. I thought with a PSA DNA coa it which had John Taubes name on it would be a safe bet.
I paid with Paypal so I do have some recourse if it turns out to be not used by Manny.

Re: Manny Ramirez bat question
Has anyone seen or heard anything about these 2003 "Game Used" Manny bats with the MR24 Hologram and LOA from Manny himself?
I have had this bat for 6 years and cant find anything out about it....
Thanks!

Re: Manny Ramirez bat question
I've been in email contact with John Taube explaining what is going on. I told him how some of the Manny collectors here didn't feel it was a Manny game used bat.
His questions to me were what were you reasons for thinking it was not used by Manny and did any of you see every at bat of Manny's in 2007?
Obviously I don't think anyone saw every at bat, but I would love to hear why you all believe it is NOT a Manny game used bat.
I am also in contact with Joe Orlando about this and will be sharing any information you all can give me with him.
Thank you for all the help everyone!

Re: Manny Ramirez bat question
The one thing i can tell right away(I am no manny collector) is that the characteristics are off. Pine tar, ball marks, etc

Re: Manny Ramirez bat question
It's just the characteristics, after seeing so manny (no pun intended) bats, you can usually just tell. A large problem you have is that it will probably be all but impossible to prove the bat wasn't used by Manny. You are really stuck unless the seller decides just to take a return, because otherwise you'll have to prove it and it'll be a hassle. I haven't looked through getty, but have you been able to find a pic of Manny using this type of bat. On a side note, I received an e-mail from someone who owns a handful of Manny bats, and he though that this bat was "doubtful at best." I'll keep him anonymous because he chose not to post, but you get the idea.
