I guess most of us have seen this collaboration involving the cricket-loving Stones, Gray Nics & Pro Direct.
Now available at a mere snip...

Who's going to be first then? :D
-
£1500?!? Do they think the public are that much of a mug?
What a joke. Expected better from GN tbh.

Not sure they would establish the price - would imagine that would be left to the retail arm of the collaboration. Insane pricing though, I'm not sure how many have been made but that effectively prices 99% of people out of that bat, and in the other 1% you'll have to find someone who doesn't think that's a rip-off, or doesn't mind that it's a rip-off.

I can’t imagine who would ever buy one of these?!
-
They have sold out of medium weights...
-
It's probably Jagger. :D
-
I’ll wait until appears in the sale weekend with 30% off be a bargain then lol.
Can’t you do a GN factory tour ( captains experience) for £800 odd and get “any GN bat included made to your exact specs”

It’s exclusive to PDC, they’ll have a say in the pricing - I get the exclusivity side but it’s just taking the Mick Jagger charging that much for me
-
Well then perhaps Sir would be interested in the Players version...? ;)

1500 pounds. Umm no thanks
-
I think this is more of a collectors item than one for your kit bag, I’d see the value at 1500 if the Stones had signed them all individually but that some mark up!
-
That PDC stamp on the edge is terrible!!

Are we maybe forgetting that there's way more Rolling Stones fans than cricket gear geeks and the bat maybe appeals to them more. I bet some people are crazy about the Rolling Stones and would pay anything for one off memorabilia....just a thought
-
Rediculous that.
Absolute madness for a cricket bat.
-
A standard top end GN Legend is £750 so you would literally be paying another £750 for the extra engraving and 2 Rolling Stones stickers. Marketing is a truly amazing thing.
-
Wow!!!!! Def buying one..
...
... Oh wait I'm not a Rolling Stones fan! Now if only they'd do a Prince bat...
-
This is a joke :o
-
So if I put a Def Leppard sticker on my Amplus, that'll make it worth £2000 easy.
-
Would live to meet the guy who actually buys this.Reckon he might drive a fancy car and all!

Can you imagine walking out to bat with that? The grief you would get.
-
“We are unable to weigh the indivdual bat”
But yeah, we are selling it for only £1500.00
-
For that money I want the Stones attending every one of my games playing me out to bat and playing me back (shortly) afterwards...

Didn’t take long for these stickers to appear on eBay

Put ‘em on an MSR bat and show it to our team mates, and a few will have a fake jaw dropping reaction, “Oh wow! What a bat! What a beauty !!!”

You must remember this forum is place for enthusiasts, not your average "I own one bat and use it until it breaks" cricketer. How many people would even be aware that this bat even exists, let alone it's price?
I'm prepared to bet that you could walk out to bat with one (be it real or fake) and the majority of people wouldn't so much as bat an eyelid.

But isn’t a lot of the writing laser engraved so can’t be faked?

Yes but as to cams point most outside the forum wouldn’t have a clue if real or fake, laser etched or stickered.
If they do any offers I may be tempted by the players option as I like the shape personally
