Any chance this is real?

A very good friend and great person called me yesterday, very excited about eBay item 160368090468. He thinks it might be something Roger Maris actually used. After reading the auction description, I get the feeling that it's a store model bat and seller is at best confused and at worst.....well, you know.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Joe

    Not sure about the bat, but here's the link to the auction.


    Edited to add: you may want to ask the folks over at Net54.

    Without a statement from Clyde King, I'd be dubious.

    Thanks for the link gotsparks.

    The seller told my buddy that he was going to get him a letter from Mr. King. I tried to explain to my friend that game used stuff was hard to authenticate, but he's so excited, I didn't really want to tell him what I thought. Letters of authenticity don't really mean much to me. Anyone selling fake items will certainly provide you with a fake COA.

    I really don't like the MARIS TYPE on the bat, other similar bats I have seen just have the players name and not the word type.

    Thanks guys,

    Joe

    There is one post on Gameuseduniverse.com saying that a collector named "Tim" (Lin) is selling a bunch of Yankees Adirondack bats and claims the guy is a crook.
