Up for auction is a 2001 MLB Gary Carter Hall of Fame Induction Bat.
Each year, the Hall prepares for a variety of scenarios, based on voting projections, of who may or may not get inducted. This bat was made by the Hall of Fame for Gary Carter in 2001, to be presented to him at the HOF election press conference in January.
Carter came close that year but didn't actually earn induction until 2003.
This is a true one of a kind collectible.
<To verify, I was a Librarian at the Hall of Fame for 10 years, until I left recently to become a Library Director at a local college in my town and this was gifted to me by higher ups in the organization 7 years ago, that is how it came into my possession>
Clearing out some stuff and its time to go! I've had this in the dark, in my closet, for the better part of the last 5 years. Its in great shape!
Willing to Sell or Trade. Trading would be for cards only. Offering it here first before I go with it to the bay and get slammed with fees.
Asking $275 Paypal or best offer/ DLVD. Asking $375 in trade or best offer. Will also consider a cash/trade combination.
You can see the photo here of Ozzie Smith at the press conference being presented with his bat for comparison:
