Vince Maltas Identification of Game Used Bats Book

[RelicSports]

If anyone else is willing to sell their Malta bat book, please let me know. I have tried to purchase multiple times on amazon in the past couple years and everytime they seem to have to wait 90+ days for it to arrive and just send me my $$ back. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Is that the publisher?

I don't believe so, Zane buys and sells game used bats. I'm not sure what level of participation in the book he had or just has extras from the original publishing. As I gave his contact info, I think you should contact him with any questions.

That seems like a smoking deal. Scanning was never going to work, because these books were bound very poorly and if you fold the pages back all the way, they are sure to fall out. I've had two and they both fell apart. Still, a great resource!

Very true. Scanning your personal copy to keep the original in good shape would be counter-productive. By the time you were done, you'd have a loose-leaf original

I believe Zane purchased the remainder of the original publisher's stock a while back. His price is very reasonable considering how tough they are to find second-hand.

Lots of book sellers on Amazon don't actually have any books in inventory, they just pirate other Amazon listings or from other sources and drop-ship. There are some operations making literally millions on other people's listings.

Similar to the way sportsmemorabilia.com operates.

Just a quick comment in case any other members were considering purchasing this book. I contacted Zane (details Jason posted in post #14) on Friday.

Book arrived today - extremely fast and exactly as stated. Book is brand new and looks like a great read. Just in case anyone was unsure - great transaction!

Thanks for posting the information Jason!

I got mine today too. Obviously Zane shipped it same day. I highly encourage people that are interested to pick one up. Looks like a great read and if you use it one time to influence your purchase, it's easily worth it.
