Any of you guys have autograph bats?

Here is mine:

> Jacob Oram (Aust vs NZ @ TD, the game Sinclair took that one handed diving catch on the boundry)
> Jason Gilespie (Boxing Day Test vs RSA)
> Ricky Ponting (Boxing Day Test vs RSA)
> Greg Mail (NSW vs VIC @ MCG)
> Michael Klinger (NSW vs VIC @ MCG)
> Nathan Bracken (Boxing Day Test vs RSA, i think)
> Brad Williams (Boxing Day Test vs RSA)

Got all autographs between 3-5 years ago

What do you think it would be worth in years to come?

probably not going to be worth anything
i couldnt see it sitting up in someones pool room
would have been better off getting numerous bats signed by individuals or signed by players playing in the same series or country together who are international players eg.klinger and mail detract value
and the bat isnt new which detracts more value

Value probably comes from your memory of getting the signatures. Might get something for it, but the variety of players does detract a bit.

I've got a couple that are simply ones on show in my home

England v Australia- 1998 Test at the Gabba- won in a raffle- got Beefy Botham to sign the other side of the bat for me.

Victoria v queensland Shiled match- 1997, I hink- my mates chipped in because i was always in the raffles- bought me the bat through the Cricketers' Club- a very cherished item because of how I got it- from my good friends in Brissie.

Also have a smaller bat- not a mini bat, though- signed by Lawry, Benaud and Ian Chappell

Fond memories- along with an AFL banner signed by Michael Voss- from my time Down Under.
