I own a carlos correa game used bat from his rookie year. The bat is authenticated by mlb, which is awesome, but as is standard for mlb, the use is specific to a given at bat (usually when it is cracked). The correa bat was cracked during the fourth inning on august 20, 2015. I was able to photo match the bat to its use in the prior game where correa hit his 15th homerun, as well as his first walk off hit.

I spoke with psa dna to see if this could be reflected in the game used letter which would surely increase value but this level of service is not available. Do you feel that the market has an interest in this detail?

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    If you have the photomatch, what's the point of getting an additional LOA? Do you collect LOAs? Any veteran game used collector is going to care about a definitive photomatch, not the additional LOA.

    I swear that some people would pay for a PSA LOA stating that grass is green and water is wet. Not that PSA is complaining.

    You're right.....some people would pay and that is in fact, the justification for getting it done if you plan to sell it. Sorry but the market is not comprised exclusively of veteran game used collectors.
