Just bought this nice bat at a local auction. It did not have any type of COA with it. Price was too good to pass up, but I would like your opinion as to whether it is real or not. It looks good to me, but its on a 34" strawberry Lousiville to boot.

    FWIW, here is an in-person auto I obtained from him... The interplay of the first name's ending and last name's beginning is a key attribute of his sig.

    It is real.

    I have also seen authenticated autos with both types of "D," meaning the rounder one and more triangular one featured on the bat.

    Thanks for the help. I feel it is legit all the way, but it never hurts to ask opinions from people who have obtained autos in person or know for sure because they put the work in. Is the fact that it is on a Louisville 125 Darryl Strawberry 34" bat make it any more desirable than if it was on a generic bat of another brand. I do not know what he actually use when he played. Any thoughts on that?

    can you show pics of the knob and handle? Maybe also the other side of the barrel

    the bat was manufactured during 1987-1989 though I would doubt that it was a bat that Straw actually used
