Reasons I hate card companies

Reason I hate card companies cutting bats up.

This card recently sold at auction for $1,845, advertised on the back as "Game used relic". I used to own this bat when it was full-size, it showed use(white marks and stuff) but Taube (PSA/DNA) determined the use wasn't from game use. I eventually sold it to an employee of memory lane who later sold it at their auction as game issued.

I asked leaf why it is advertised as game used when the bat didnt show any game use. They told me it came with an LOA for game use but wouldn't provide me with a copy because they dont do that if people ask. They later told me they bought the bat thru Goldin, I searched Goldin and searched tons of auctions and could find no record of it being sold since it sold in Memory lane many years ago. They also said it did come with an LOA from Mears, so i asked Troy if they authenticated it but they couldn't help without the hologram number.

So it just sucks that this bat is probably only game issued, yet the card companies say used.

And it also sucks that I call out this company questioning their product and they won't provide the LOA to back up said item. It sucks these items getting destroyed, at least it wasn't a Mantle bat that showed all his traits and a prime example of his bats.
