What is the value of a Honus Wagner Louisville Slugger bat with decal?
Depending on the Size, age, model, and condition a Honus Wagner Louisville Slugger Decal Bat from the 1905 -1916 era is worth about $1,000. -$5,000. Condition is not the only important with decal bats, it is everything. The decals are fairly common in beat up condition, and could sell as low as $75.-$100. I have seen a Honus Wagner Decal bat (Youth Model) in decent condition with 85% of the decal sell for $1,800. on eBay. They are rarely found in near mint condition, and a full size decal bat in this condition generally sell in excess of $5000. The age of the bat is important and I will leave a link below to assist you in dating the bat. If the center label reads JF Hillerich & Son Co. and TRADE MARK under the oval it dates the bat between 1897 - 1911. If it reads TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF below the label 1911 -1916. However the bat cannot be dated before 1905. In 1905 Honus Wagner, signed a contract with Hillerich & Bradsby co. and became the first player ever to endorse a bat. His autograph was also the first to be used on a bat and the first known professional athlete endorsement of a retail product. For more information on vintage baseball bats see Related Links below. I have also added a picture of the decal.

What is the value of a 1949 NY Yankees world series autographed hillerich and bradsby co black bat includes joe dimaggio and casey stengel?
The World series "Black Bat" was 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. A 1949 New York Yankees Black Bat is worth about $850.-$1,150.
What was the make and model of Mickey Mantle's bat?
Some of the baseball bats Mickey Mantle used included Louisville Slugger Models M110, K55, and P72. Hillerich & Bradsby began making K55 bats in the 1950's.The earlier H&B professional K55 Bats had K55 written on the knob. Louisville Slugger started putting model numbers on the end of the knob in 1943. If you have a Mickey Mantle Bat with K55 on the barrel you have a store model bat.
