<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zinnie, post: 439135, member: 9303&quot;]I have a 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers Nat Champs baseball bat that I&#039;d like to sell but not sure how to go about it.&nbsp; It has a provenance by virtue of my ex-husband first owning it (his dad gave to him when born, in that year), who then gave it to our son, who then gave it to me (officially 5 yrs ago) because neither of them showed an iota of interest in it but I figured it might one day have value and kept it stored away from harm for the last 45 years (through a good dozen moves!).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a &#039;sweet spot&#039; (unfortunately where the year is) that&#039;s always been there and I&#039;ve just assumed it was given that on the day of the game, at the end (which they used to do back then).&nbsp; Ex&#039;s dad, story goes, was at the game in bigwig box of VIPs and was given the bat for being just that.&nbsp; His family lived on Long Island at the time, so easy to believe.&nbsp; Dad was a VP at a major dept store. </p><p><br /></p><p>Similar bats appear on ebay but almost always from a seller who erroneously claims it is a World Championship and priced as such.&nbsp; B Dodgers won only the national league title that year, went on to play Yankees, who then won the grand prize.&nbsp; This was also the first game (or year) that Jackie Robinson played in, so it has that nice value as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I only know all this because I&#039;ve researched as best I can, otherwise I&#039;m not really a sports fan or know anyone who is.&nbsp; It&#039;d be great to have another venue to sell it at ie local sports fan club? but I can&#039;t seem to find those.&nbsp; I have more photos of signatures if interested.&nbsp; Any knowledge/advice is most welcome and appreciated!&nbsp; TIA. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]154344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]154345[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
