Revisiting my Manny bat question

[soxfan]

Hey everyone,

I posted questions about this Manny Ramirez "Game Used" signed bat in the Manny Bat Question thread, but wanted to have it stand out to see if anyone can shed some light on it.

Came from ASI and Manny's website in 2004, has the MR24 holograms and LOA sined by Manny.

Was sold as a GAME USED SIGNED 2003 Manny bat....but when I submitted it to PSA/DNA, it came back as unauthentic for a game used bat but the signature was deemed authentic.

Found 2 identical bats on American Memorabilia Auctions in 2005 (see pic below with ASI hologram) and the both came with PSA/DNA authenticity letters, but you can clearly see its the same bats. So why now is mine deemed "unauthentic"?

I also found a pic from 2003 that shows Manny using this style bat.

Any info would be great....

Thanks!
