Joe DiMaggio game-used bat bought for $147 now worth $100,000

On Antiques Roadshow, a man brought in a baseball bat used by the late great Joe DiMaggio. He bought the bat at auction for $147 in 1976, which translates to about $680 in today’s dollars. The man said his wife wasn’t too happy with him because what he paid for the bat was almost as much as he made in a week. But it turns out it was a pretty good investment.

The bat has a very unique look, something the man asked DiMaggio about when he met him at an autograph signing in 1994, and DiMaggio explained to the man the process he went through with his bats.
