Okay, gang, help me figure this out! I just photo matched my newly acquired Adam Dunn bat to his 2002 Donruss Studio card #200 . I'm trying to track down when the picture was taken but my best guess would be during batting practice in a cold climate due to the BP style hat and the long-sleeved jacket. The bat was made between 2001-2002 and the 2002 Donruss Studio product released on June 15, 2002. I'm really in the dark on determining when the picture was taken and would greatly appreciate any insight.
Factors contributing to the photo match include:
-the taped bat knob
-the "lle" on the end of "Louisville" has a streak running through it where the wood was not burned
-the "d" at the end of "Powerized" is darkly burned
-the wood grain on the barrel between the LVS logo and the nameplate
-black mark on the right-center barrel (this mark is to the right of a matching oval-shaped grain pattern)
-nameplates are identical
I also own the autographed version #'d out of 25!
Here is an article discussing the history behind the 2002 set and Donruss Studio in general:

Thanks again for the help!
