BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Ian Stewart Autographed Game-Used Controlling The Game Professional Model Bat 2007-2008 PSA/DNA LOA JSA
This is a professional model baseball bat used by Ian Stewart during the 2007-2008 labeling period. The bat is manufactured by Controlling The Game (CTG), model CTG-27, and is constructed from Pro Maple with a black finish. The barrel features gold-toned engravings including the CTG logo, MADE IN USA, MODEL CTG – 27, IAN STEWART, and PRO MAPLE – 34. The barrel is hand-signed by Ian Stewart in silver-toned marker. The bat measures 34.0 inches in length and weighs 31.3 ounces. This item is supported by dual professional authentication. First, a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity (LOA) number 1B37026, dated April 14, 2025, and signed by bat expert John Taube, confirms the bat matches Stewart’s ordering records and is genuine game-used. The bat has been permanently marked with an invisible DNA daub and bears a PSA oval sticker near the handle. Second, a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Basic Certification number CD87080 verifies the autograph is genuine, with a matching JSA sticker affixed to the knob.
Condition report:
The bat exhibits outstanding game use throughout. The barrel shows significant scuffing, dirt accumulation, and numerous ball impressions consistent with professional play. A prominent longitudinal crack is present, extending from the handle through the CTG logo toward the barrel. Both the knob and the barrel end show heavy wear and contact marks from use. The silver-toned autograph remains clear and legible against the black finish.
