Mark- You have your information mixed up. Decal bats with 40JJ, 40 TC etc, even though 99% of them are hand turned, are just store model bats. They weren't used by the player themselves. The argument is for the earlier hillerich and son's that said Made By in the center logo.

The bat is not a pro model by any stretch of the imagination.

A 40jj without a decal is a few hundred bucks at best.
