these decals have been applied to many bats off different lengths.
My focus is mini bats that have been called salesman samples, presentation bats and other things except what I believe they really were ball park souvenirs. My reason for this post is to challenge auction houses to list them for what I believe they really are very nice vendor souvenirs.
I no a salesman probably had one or two of these bats in his pouch.
For 30 years I have made a note of every mini bat I have seen for sale.
In my notes I have seen 144 cobb decal bats for sale. during this same time I have seen 16 Connie Mack 12 inch H&S signature bats for sale.
I realize that when a individual sees an item they have in there sock drawer selling for $1500 dollars they put it up for sale. but the 1927 12 inch Ruth W.S. bat has sold for $800 I have seen 7 of them no one has ever even considered calling it a salesman sample. and would believe more than 7 were made. This change in description will have no effect on the final selling price. I no this could be controversial to auction houses but I believe there is enough information available to list these bats for what they really are.
Ball park, vendors or just the local five n dime store souvenirs.
