This new line of bats would have a "Home Run Spot" mark impressed in the barrel. "New old stock" appearance with just a hint of light wear which is largely confined to the corners/edges. Exceedingly rare with this being the first example we have seen and possibly a unique survivor: EXEstimated Price Range: ($1,000-$3,000)
