BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Louisville Slugger Mark Dewey New York Mets Game Used Bat Model K48 PSA/DNA LOA 1B37030
This is a professional model Louisville Slugger (Hillerich and Bradsby) baseball bat used by pitcher Mark Dewey during his tenure with the New York Mets. The ash wood bat features a flame burned finish and measures 34.0 inches in length with a weight of 32.9 ounces. The barrel is branded with the Louisville Slugger center brand, the Powerized logo, and block lettering reading GENUINE K48 / MARK DEWEY / NEW YORK METS. The player number 43 is handwritten on the knob. This bat is accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA, which confirms the specifications match manufacturer records for Dewey during the 1992 season. A notable feature of this bat is the black-painted barrel end; the authenticator notes a circular mark on the top of the barrel which may indicate the bat was corked and subsequently painted to conceal the modification, a practice prohibited by Major League Baseball. The Letter of Authenticity is signed by renowned bat expert John Taube.
Condition report:
The bat is authenticated by PSA/DNA with certification number 1B37030 and includes a matching hologram sticker affixed to the handle. The bat is un-cracked and exhibits evidence of excellent game use throughout the barrel and handle. The barrel end is painted black, showing some surface wear and chipping to the paint consistent with use. The wood grain is well-preserved under the flame burned finish.
