These are about as far from pre-war as possible, but...
I got two game used/signed bats via the Pay It Forward thread on Collector's Universe. One is a Pudge Rodriguez bat signed to Gary Sheffield (very light use) and the other is a Miguel Tejada model bat used and signed by Melky Cabrera in his rookie season (heavy use). Sorry, I don't have any pictures right now.
If any of you visit the CU forum, the Pay It Forward thread has been fun. You take an item that is offered and then offer up one yourself of similar value. I took the Pudge bat and when I received it in the mail, the Cabrera bat was in there "to help me start my GU bat collection"! I offered up a signed Koufax card in return. It's something I started on CU last year and aside from a few tiffs, has been a really fun thread and I've gotten a lot of cool items. While CU isn't usually as mature in attitude as Net54, there are some really good guys over there, if you can get over the lack of T206.
