Exquisite Baseball Bats: A Collector’s Dream

Introduction to the Collection

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination and reverence of collectors like game-ready bats. These artifacts, steeped in history and potential, offer a tangible connection to the legends of the sport. Our latest auction features an exceptional selection of bats from renowned players, each with its own unique story and significance.

Morgan’s Signed Bat

The first highlight of this collection is a bat manufactured by H&B, model M253, measuring 34.5 inches in length and weighing 32.2 ounces. Crafted from ash wood during the labeling period of 1980-83, this bat remains in pristine, uncracked condition. What sets this piece apart is the signature of Morgan, elegantly inscribed on the barrel alongside the heartfelt message, “Best Wishes.” Executed in black marker, the signature is rated a 6 in our expert opinion. This bat, presented to us as game-ready, does not exhibit evidence of use, making it a pristine addition to any sports memorabilia collection.

O’Neill’s Personalized Bat

Next, we present a bat from O’Neill, also manufactured by H&B, model M110. This bat, measuring 34 inches and weighing 31 ounces, is crafted from ash wood and dates back to the labeling period of 1986-89. It remains uncracked, with the player number “21” meticulously written on both the knob and barrel end in black marker. Like Morgan’s bat, this piece is game-ready and shows no evidence of use, offering a pristine canvas for collectors seeking consignment opportunities.

Concepcion’s Classic Bat

Concepcion’s bat, a product of Adirondack/Rawlings, model 194A, stands out with its impressive length of 35.5 inches and weight of 31.3 ounces. This ash wood bat, from the labeling period of 1971-79, is uncracked and features the player number “13” inscribed on the knob in black marker. The model number “194A” is stamped into the knob, adding to its authenticity. This bat is game-ready and does not exhibit evidence of use, making it a valuable piece for those looking to sell sports memorabilia.

Charlton’s Well-Used Bat

Finally, we have Charlton’s bat, another H&B creation, model B267. This bat, measuring 35.5 inches and weighing 35 ounces, is crafted from ash wood and hails from the labeling period of 1986-89. While it remains uncracked, there is checking on the back barrel, and the player number “37” is written on the knob and barrel end in blue marker. Unlike the other bats in this collection, Charlton’s bat exhibits evidence of heavy use, adding a layer of historical intrigue. Accompanied by a LOA from PSA/DNA and further authenticated by JSA for the signature, this bat is a testament to the enduring legacy of its player.
