A Brett Boone game used bat in general is worth about $150.-$250. if accompanied by the proper paperwork and provenance. The signature might have little impact on the value more or less. Most Game used collectors would prefer the bat unsigned, as close to the condition as it was used by the player. The bulk of the value will rely on the bat being game used, and the signature is secondary. The signature can add some value depending on the collector buying it. The absence of acceptable documentation linking the bat to the noted player will bring a much lower price and will have to be identified by using player Characteristics, and company shipping records . The quality of provenance accompanying the game used bat will dictate the bulk of the value. Provenance is the documentation of the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item. the provenance must come from a verifiable source. For example, a letter that comes from a source like a player, team executive, family member could have great impact while bats that originate from a particular collection or bats that come with letters from a spectator may not be given much, if any , weight. Player Characteristics For example could be the way a player taped a bat, or applied pine tar. Characteristics so unique to those players that the presence of those characteristics dramatically improves the likelihood that these players used these exact bats. The bat must show some signs of game-use that are attributable to or known for that particular player With or without provenance the bat will have to be evaluated by a reputable authenticating service. The experts that evaluate the bat will have to rely solely on player Characteristics and the bat will achieve a lower grade bringing the value down. However under rare circumstances a game-used bat that possesses extraordinary player characteristics may achieve a higher grade than a bat that is accompanied by provenance, if the player usage characteristics are superior. The degree of game use could also effect the value of the bat. Game used bats do not receive grades like "Mint" or "Near Mint" based on sheer condition. Game-used bats need to show some sign of wear in order for the expert to render an opinion. It is also part of the appeal of collecting game-used bats. Most collectors of game used bats prefer bats that Show "great use"
