I can believe 17 ruth barrels. Some bats had two barrels produced. I can imagine maybe 10-12 ruth bats have got cut up. Ruth bats actually aren't that un-common, so I don't think that's is a huge number
I get some are available , but the ones w provenance and legit usually bring out memorabilia collectors. Are the card companies really dissing out $100k plus? I am trying to see if I can match even one from an auction to a card. I'm not trying to jump into the everything is fake crowd , but when I saw that the 1998 bat sold for $23k and they said it was Mastro , and no 1997-up Mastro bats are said to match , I'm scratching my head as I start looking. Are most if these 10-17 bats private sales to the companies, if so it's tough to find legitimacy. An audit of DLP , Panini , Topps , and UD should be the next thing Congress addresses

I would guess half of that. Of the 17 how many would you think are full nameplate?
7 or 8 maybe? What you think?

I'll see what I can find ... Where are all the other barrel marking pieces ? Like your Bonds , there should be some Ruth pieces with other markings

i have wondered that for a long time??? Even with modern players you hardly ever see it? Why is that?
I was always taught to use the non-marked sides of the bat as your preferred hitting areas. "Trademark up"
That's likely why you don't see a lot of marks in those nameplate areas.
Could be wrong, but I think he means other wording and inscriptions on the bats aside from just the name
Like the Lousiville Slugger logo, Marucci, etc
Hahah
Ok yeah I was thinking usage marking.
