Hi All. I picked this up for $8 yesterday in a junky antique mall. It's a pretty nice bat with great knob and patina. Here is what I would like your input regarding tape. Over the years I have removed tape and had bats restored. In other instances, there were no hidden cracks and all was well. Do you leave tape on or remove and restore? What are your feelings regarding taped handles (this one is cracked)?[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
