has bids. Ouch. Amazing what people will go thru - as there's more than one step involved in making a bad fake like this (it borders on the absurd and someone apparently bought the idea) - add to that some pretty hard to swallow ignorance on the part of the seller. Sorry I don't know tiny url or how to truncate this |

This bat actually sold once before on ebay for like $600 with a Buy it Now. I was doing a completed search looking for a card I had missed to see what it went for and stumbled on it after the fact. It is one of the more pathetic creations I have seen since the dawn of ebay fraud. |

The black electrical tape on the handle wasn't a good touch. Baseball players may tape up their equipment, but cigarette shops owners don't tape up their adverting displays. |

I agree it is laughable, however the seller might actually be none the wiser. I once found a hideous fake tobacco sign (probably Tuxedo Tobacco) in a Demouchelles auction. When I emailed them about it they said that it was from an old time collection and that I couldn't tell if I didn't see it in person. After that experience nothing surprises me about Demouchelles. |

I know the guy who BIN'ed the bat and he got his money back with no problem...I would say the seller here is generally clueless, but I don't think he's trying to scam anyone. He didn't just relist it the same way...once he found out the bat was from the 1940's he put that in the auction. |

My mom has always been into arts and crafts and does decoupage, which is the gluing of paper to objects. I once had har make me a 'decal bat' by gluing a picture of a Scrapps die cut onto an Adirondack. The blonde bat was obviously a modern model (to start, Adirondack was founded in the 1940s) and there's no such thing as a Scrapps bat, but it was scary how genuine the decal looked. |
