Pretty interesting news regarding the new Shoeless Joe Bat

In the new 2008 Donruss Threads baseball they have a Shoeless Joe Jackson bat card #/100. When I lived in PC, Fl one of my buddies there purchased a bat from an individual that was later certified by PSA/DNA. The bat ended up selling on Mastro for around $1800. My thought is where did Donruss get their bat from to make the card? I wonder if it came from this auction?

Also I know the bat was certified as "game used" but I dont think they could guarantee that Shoeless Joe used the bat. Ill try to get the scan of the card off ebay in a minute.


Thanks for reading!

Hey! I remember that.

Makes me wonder - if 100 cards sell for $50 each, that's 3x more than the complete bat. CRAZY!
