Thanks for the tip Ken!

I've actually spent this afternoon searching for related books for my library. I've also looked into the Mastronet Reference and Price Guide: For Collecting Game Used Baseball Bats as well as it seems to be a good reference as well.

It is, I used it well when it came out, but honestly, the Malta book beats it hands-down. Malta's book has very detailed pictures and descriptions of virtually every variation in LV labeling. Every bat I get I check out the date. Combined with the actual LV ordering records for HOFers, it's worth it's weight in gold. (Is it even available anymore??)

Not HOFers in SayHey or Gorilla's category, but I am happy as can be with the Travis bat. Been looking for one for years that 1) was available and 2) I could afford. I remember one selling a few years ago for twice what I got this one for.

Combined with the Satchel Paige ball I posted in the auto pickups, I've crossed two of my top-ten "dream items" off in two weeks!

I love the look of the old Adirondacks, like the Dark and Houk here. Also, one that may be uncommon is the Duffy Lewis bat, sitting beside one of my personal favorites, my Hank Gowdy.
