Re: Thoughts on Wade Boggs bats on ebay from Celebz-Direct....
Bat is not what you were led to believe. That's what eBay's return policy is for. Don't fool with these fools, just send it back and get your refund. And never trust them again.

Re: Thoughts on Wade Boggs bats on ebay from Celebz-Direct....
I was hoping you guys can help me with a bat I plan to purchase from Celebz Direct, I'm now a bit worried. It's a Mattingly gamer, I believe from the later part of his career. Pictures can be found here:

BTW, how was Scot not indicted along with Brad Wells for the ASI issue?

I still find that particular article entertaining. It details Monette telling Wells to take bats to the batting cages to make them look used.

Honestly, no. I don't even know if Monette really is still connected to CD. The comments he's alleged (by Wells) to have made were while the two were with ASI. That's why I gave CD the benefit of the doubt. After getting a bat that would be a stretch to say "light use" (I'd say unused, but in bat bag/rack), I give them that benefit no more.

Re: Thoughts on Wade Boggs bats on ebay from Celebz-Direct....
I've noticed bats sold by them that have very little or nearly no use, but I'm not an expert on game used bats. Would you have any opinion on the Mattingly bat in particular? It comes from the Kurt Knudsen collection. I noticed Knudsen only pitched in 1992-94 so I'm guessing he could've asked for a bat?

Re: Thoughts on Wade Boggs bats on ebay from Celebz-Direct....
One question for you: what part of this thread makes you think you'd have a good transaction with these guys?
Mattingly gamers aren't that rare. They get pricey because he has a dedicated following. While this stinks if you want to add one, it also means if one is going really cheap, there is a reason why. (Think: Babe Ruth autographs!)

Re: Thoughts on Wade Boggs bats on ebay from Celebz-Direct....
The ball marks look like what I'd consider batting practice impressions. I don't know how Mattingly takes BP, but some players will wrap tape around the barrel so they can better see where the ball is contacting the bat and protect the bat from seam separation.
BTW, Mike, this is one of the reasons why I questioned your game used bats on AML. They really don't look like gamers to me. I'm not dogging on you, it's just the items you post are questionable sometimes.
