Yeah those starter jackets are back in demand, & getting harder to find in thrift stores since most end up on their website sales now.

Man, I wish those Starter jackets were sold at thrift stores here, but no one wears jackets in Hawaii.
There are racks full of Aloha shirts though. I wonder if they'd sell on eBay. I know the vintage ones are kind of valuable.

$750? What makes the bat so valuable?

It was pretty much the most powerful bat ever made with the scandium alloy and 1 of the last -5 bats. I still don't get why they sell so high??? People on the east coast can use them in their men's leagues & people over seas are paying big money too. I even heard people are refinishing them to look like legal bats.

Buyer paid for the bat this time $541

rum151man · Jul 28, 2013

There's one on eBay right now brand new in the wrapper it's at $1025 with a buy it now for $2,500

For those still confused, the -5 means the ounces is 5 units smaller than the length, the standard in adult league, i assume, is still -3?

the extra -2 ounces on the same length bad equals faster bat speed which can equal bigger bombs and better contact. I had a -5 bat at one point in high school.

Those hats are a nice find. I would think you could at least get $15-$20 each, and the East Coast ones would get more. Being a bald guy, those hats look absolutely ridiculous on me, so I've never bought one.

I play in a few leagues here in CT and all of the leagues here are wooden bat.

I found a set of Bobby Jones Spalding Irons, they are painted to look like wood shafts. Picked them up for 2.50. Need to do some research on them.
