I've been winning bats...

I just got 10 today, with 6 more on the way. These cost me about $8 each delivered and I plan on using them for getting IP autos. They are pretty beat up (minor league bats), but I think they will look great signed. I'm surprised I'm getting them at that price (eBay), when OMLBs cost about $15 each.

might just be me but i like the look of clean issued bats signed better than beat up game used bats. Especially if the player signing the bat has no connection to the bat.

Those bats do look pounded with use and you cant beat the price. I would just use those bats for batting practice

I agree that the clean bats look better--the professional model bats, that is. However, I was at a Tony Gwynn signing last week and saw a few guys in line with those Big Stick bats--the kind you'd see in Target--to get signed, and they looked like cheap toys compared to these bats.

That said, these bats are beat. I'll be taking some natural wood soap to them before getting them signed to shine them up a little.

If those bats are uncracked, then, at the price you're getting them, it's one heck of a deal if you're using them to hit.

Nope, they're all cracked. I just got them for getting IP autos. I haven't had a chance to clean them yet, but those 2 red ones will look great signed with a blue sharpie after I've wiped the dirt off.

Thats a pretty good idea. Pretty cheap as well. Good luck with the autos!

This is a great idea! I'm going to be picking up a bunch around 30 for $150!!!! Thank you friend!
