Lil Help for I.D. on a Bat

TNTonPMS

Yesterday my son and I went to a tag sale around the neigborhood and saw this autographed baseball bat , they only wanted 25 bucks for it so we picked it up , I have no clue who signed it , but it looks like a brand new bat .

Can anyone I/D the sig ?

No cert came with it and the lady said her husband who just passed away had just bought it about a month ago ,

F.W.I.W. she said he's got a ton and a half of old baseball cards in the den , she said I can come over and buy whatever I want , so I'll be going back there in a little while , see what's what . .

LOL, I wouldn't have even ben able to pick that up . .

Today signatures are so hard to figure out sometimes unless you have some of them already to compare them to .

i though the begining letter was a J, but I suppose it could also be a T

Thanks you for the help .

It's hard to tell from the glare - but I think it might be Jose Tabata

Anthony - If that ton and a half of old cards turn out to be decent 50s and 60s stuff that you are going to pass on, let me know and I can be out on the island in about 45 minutes.

LOL Nick , absolutely , I'll see what's what and letcha know , I don't really think I would pass on it , but if I couldn't afford whatever she wants I have no problem maybe splitting the cost or whatever .

That would be insane if they were like crazy old cards .

The bat in the pic is signed by Jose Tabata . It came from the 2007 Just Minors Mystery Bat boxes . When you bought a box you got
one autographed bat and 2 autographed cards . Boxes run about 80 bucks a pop .

Thanks a lot you guys for the help on the baseball bat , you guys are pretty damn good , I don't think I would have ever gotten that name .

Can't even say I have even heard of him so I guess it's nothing too special, but the boy loves it .

I went to the ladys house yesterday and waited and waited and waited until she came home from where ever she was ,

Most of the cards there were late 70's - 2006 and 7 all in really great shape , not a ton and a half but maybe about 15,000 give or take ,

She had two really great cards , A Goudey Ruth and a Goudey Gehrig , the Goudey Ruth she said she did not want to get rid of , the Goudey Gehrig she sold me with everything else for 500 bucks !

I am not too good at the vintage stuff to be able to tell if they are real or reprints , but I figured even if it wasn't real I didn't really lose much with the other cards I got . . .

I have been trying to get a real quality scan of the card and this is about the best I can do , after about 20 tries , it always comes out like dots , the front of the card looks like it has some serious damage to it , but the back don't look so bad , what can I look for to tell if it is a reprint or fake ,

It looks good to me , but some of you guys forgot more than I will ever know . . .

Here are the pics . .

borders look a tad short, what the heck do I know

Definitely does compared to others I have seen on the web .

I don't know if the dimensions stayed the same as far as the 07's but the cards are almost exactly the same size , with this one being a hair smaller .

Edited to add : Looks hacked to hell . . . . tell ya that much

Compared to everything else out there I see . . .
