What is the value of a 1978 LA Dodgers National League Champion Team Engraved Bat? |
[Edit] |
Answer
These commemorative bats are referred to as "Black Bats" and have been produced by batmaker Hillerich & Bradsy (makers of the "Louisville Slugger") to honor each season's American and National League champions since 1934. They were made in relatively large quantities (especially for Yankees and Dodgers teams) and presented to players and team personel, as well as league officials and VIPs. Ironically, bats made in the last ten years are worth more than those produced decades ago, as H&B cut down the quantities distributed significantly in the early 90's due to the expense. Yours is truly a function of its overall condition, with a safe appraisal being $100-150. Bats in Near Mint condition would warrant the top value and possibly more.
