1983-84 Jim Rice Boston Red Sox Game-Used & Signed Bat

Louisville Slugger C243 Model Bat: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Artifact

Step into the world of baseball legends with this remarkable Louisville Slugger C243 model bat. Measuring an impressive 34.5 inches and weighing 31.7 ounces, this bat is not just a piece of wood; it is a testament to the prowess and skill of its wielder. The bat shows excellent use, a silent witness to the countless swings and hits it has endured. A handle crack adds character, whispering tales of the intense games it has been part of.

Player’s Mark and Signature

Adding to its allure, the player number “14” is inscribed on the knob, marking its association with a specific player. The barrel of the bat bears the signature of Rice, executed in bold black marker. In our expert opinion, this signature rates a 9, a testament to its clarity and preservation. Such a signature not only enhances the bat’s value but also connects it to the legacy of the player, making it a coveted item for any baseball memorabilia collector.

Accompanied by Prestigious Certifications

This bat is accompanied by a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity (LOA), grading it a GU 9, which underscores its authenticity and significance. Additionally, an ALOA from JSA further attests to its provenance, ensuring that this piece is not just a bat, but a verified artifact of baseball history.

Why This Bat Stands Out

• Historical Significance: Represents the skill and legacy of its player, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
• Player’s Signature: The signature of Rice, rated a 9, enhances its desirability and connection to the sport.
• Authenticity: Accompanied by certifications from PSA/DNA and JSA, ensuring its genuine status.
• Condition: Despite the handle crack, the bat shows excellent use, adding to its narrative and charm.
