Default Help with PSA/DNA LOA Bat terminology

Hi Guys:

I am not a bat collector, but rather a player collector who has received a bat with a PSA/DNA LOA.

I am not revealing the players name, team or model number in the below

The LOA says:

"the players name" Professional Model Bat.

The second line under the photo of the bat says:

The model number, length and weight specifications have been confirmed by the Manufacturer's ordering records as being ordered by the PLAYER ( my CAPS ) during the referenced labeling period.

However later under comments it seems to contradict the above when it says:

A review of "the players name" factory ordering records document the __ model as being ordered by "the player" throughout his career. However a 33 inch model can not be found. (my underline) Records indicate he ordered bats as short as 32 1/2 inches in the length. The __ model does appear on the "teams" team record during the referenced labeling period. It is common knowledge that the team, as well as the player, ordered bats for game use. It is our opinion the __ model "players name" bat is one of the team ordered bats.

It goes on to say "it is our opinion the bat is authentic as described"


So, my questions are

1 Do they contradict themselves where in an earlier paragraph they say the PLAYER ordered this bat in the model number and length but then go on to say a 33 inch bat can not be found in the factory ordering records?

2. Is the above discrepancy a big deal I should worry about?

3. Is the main description above the photo of the bat where is says Professional Model Bat the same on all bats, or is there a designation that says the players name and a GAME USED Model bat?

4. With the description above is this considered a game used bat? Nowhere on the LOA does it say GAME USED

I don't want to buy a bat that is supposed to be GAME USED, if it is not. I just don't know the different terminologies for bats and don't want to get caught up in confusing language.

Thanks in advance for any answers, info, guidance to the above will be greatly appreciated,

Fred
