I was going to say that they are all graded as grade 1 by the batmaker and all are different ages.

Surely it depends who.s selling the bat

They all look grade 1's to me apart from 1 of them

you'd be narked at the second one being grade one - though its hard to tell how much better it looked when it was brand spanking new!

Actually a thought - I reckon one of the bottom three, possibly even the lovely looking number three, might be a G2 because of the eartwood, thereby showing how daft the whole thing can sometimes be!

Well done Manormanic 3rd one is Grade 2 - Laver & Wood Special Reserve
