Game used - Game Issued With Louisville slugger, and Adirondack bats in short, if your bat has the size stamped into the knob it is a store model bat. This is placed there to help the buyer identify the size of the bat. Examples of this would be number like; 6, 06 036, 36, MM6, PR6. These marking will indicate a 36 inch bat.

When letters proceed the number like MM6 or PR6 it is indicating the player model initials followed by the size, In this case MM6 Mickey Mantle 36 inch, and PR6 Pete Rose 36 inch.

Game used, and Professional model bats are two different animals. A game used bat would have to come with the proper paperwork, or a letter of provenance showing the chain of custody from the player that used the bat to the person that currently owns the bat. Without this you just have a pro model bat. It would otherwise be difficult to prove that the bat was actually used by the player.

Adirondack Professional model bats will typically have the model number on the knob followed by a Letter. for example Hank Aaron used a 63 A, Mickey Mantle used a 288 D. Louisville slugger began using model numbers on the knob in 1943 then moving the model number to the barrel in 1977.

For example a K55 Mickey Mantle pro model would have K55 on the knob as opposed to the store model bat with K55 appearing on the barrel. Dating the bat could be important.

What is the value of a Bronson Arroyo baseball that was caught at a game?

A game used baseball might sell for about $5.-$10. on eBay depending on the condition of the baseball. it cannot be proven that the baseball was hit or thrown by Bronson Arroyo during a game, and extra value cannot be added for this.Any piece of game used equipment would need to be accompanies by a letter of provenance stating that the item was used during a game. The strength of the provenance will dictate the value. A letter of provenance from a team player or official will be acceptable. A letter of provenance from a fan at the game will not hold much weight if any.Provenance is the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item.Game Used is a term used for a piece of equipment that has been used by a professional player of note during a game such as a baseball bat or glove. A piece of equipment used in a professional game such as a "game used" baseball. For example a bat used by a professional baseball player like Mickey Mantle is "Game Used" A bat that was used in a little league game is a used bat not a "Game used" bat.

How much is an old Joe Dimaggio model Hillerich and Bradsby number 110 bat in good shape worth?

In order to determine the value of the bat we need more information on the markings on the bat. Does it read 110 or M110 on the Barrel, or is the 110 in the center label? In 1943 Louisville Slugger introduced a professional Model M110 Bat so it is possible that the bat is a game used Joe Dimaggio Bat. But to determine that you need even more information. What are the markings on the knob? If it reads 34 indicating a 34" Bat for example its probably a store model bat. What are the markings of the label? these markings will help determine the age of the Bat. I will include a Link to an easy to use chart in helping you date the bat, and if you get back to me with more information on the markings on the bat I will help you determine if its a Store Model Bat, a Professional Model bat, a game issued bat, or a game used Bat. A Joe DiMaggio Store Model bat it worth around $100. - $200. depending on the age, and condition.


What is the value of a baseball bat that was used in the 1954 championship game and signed by the team?

You might have what is referred to as a World Series "Black Bat." You did not include the player that "used the bat" or the team that signed it. These Bats were given to participating players, and dignitaries from teams in the world series. They have facsimile signatures of the entire team in gold on a dark black ebony bat. Names in script for Hillerich & Bradsby endorsees and block letter for non endorsed players."Black Bats" are highly sought after in excellent to near mint condition. Any grade lower will devalue the price considerably. If your bat is used it will be devalued. The bats would read either World Series Champions (for the winner of the series), or National League, American League Champions for the loosing team. Both the 1954 New York Giants, and the Cleveland Indians black bats are worth about $600.-$800. in excellent -near/mint condition. If your bat is in fact a "Game Used" bat used in the 1954 World Series signed by either team I would need to know the player that used the bat, and the team that signed the bat. Provenancewould be needed to verify that the bat was game used otherwise the value will be based on the value of the signatures on a used bat. The term 'Game Used " is a piece of equipment that has been used by a professional player of note during a game such as a baseball bat or glove. A piece of equipment used in a professional game such as a "game used" base. For example a bat used by a professional baseball player like Mickey Mantle is "Game Used" A bat that was used in a little league game is a used bat not a "Game used" bat. Provenance is the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item.

How much are New York Yankees 2006 game balls worth?

2006 Game Used BaseballThe value of a "game used" 2006 Yankees baseball will rely on your ability to prove so. Otherwise it will be valued as a used Major League baseball, and will have a lower value than a baseball that is in clean mint condition, about $20.00 The "Game used" baseball would have to be accompanied with provenance, and the quality of the provenance will dictate the value. A letter from a player, team, or League official would be acceptable. A letter from a fan at the game would not hold much weight if any. Without provenance the added value will rely on the buyers belief in your story.
