(PSA/DNA GU9 • Rare)
Iconic 1998 H&B P72 Baseball Bat: A Collector’s Dream
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship
Step into the world of elite baseball memorabilia with this exceptional H&B P72 bat, a testament to the artistry and precision of sports equipment manufacturing. Crafted from premium ash wood, this bat measures an impressive 34 inches in length and weighs 31.3 ounces, embodying the perfect balance and power sought by professional players.
Game-Used Authenticity
Presented to us as game-used, this bat is a remarkable piece of history, showcasing evidence of moderate game use. The player number “51” is inscribed on the knob in black marker, adding a personal touch to this already unique artifact. The bat’s surface tells a story of its own, with ball and hit marks visible on the right, left, and back barrel, complemented by black ball transfer marks in the same areas. Blue bat rack marks further adorn the left and back barrel, while a light coat of pine tar graces the mid-handle, indicating its use in the heat of competition.
Condition and Grading
This bat remains in uncracked condition, a rarity for game-used items, and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from PSA/DNA, grading it a stellar 9. Such a high grade underscores its exceptional preservation and authenticity, making it a coveted piece for any serious collector.

- Condition: Uncracked and graded 9 by PSA/DNA, ensuring its value and desirability.
