the most amazing thing i have ever seen in my life!!
i went to card shop last month and forgot to post this on here. the owner of the shop was in the back with a regular at the shop i think and he came out with a bat storage case and the bat was a BABE RUTH BAT FROM THE 1920'S AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY 1/25?? EVER MADE FOR HIM BY LOUISVILLE SLUGGER OF THAT SAME TYPE. I THOUGHT THAT THAT IS AMAZING PERSONALLY. WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UP SIMILAR BATS FROM RUTH ON EBAY AND THEY WERE ON THERE FOR LIKE $850,000!! ALSO SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT IT IS THAT IT WAS LIKE A 45 OZ 31 IN BAT WHICH IS AMAZING TO ME.
let me know what you think about it should have taken pics with phone when i was there
