You seem to have more gear than most of my team combined.

5 bats between 11 players? #Village  ;)

Being on the forum for a while. I have 5 bats, two helmets, two set of gloves and 2 sets of pads.  But having 6 helmets and 5 bags puts you ahead of 50% of the team combined.

It's the forum effect. Not many are immune to the for sale and eBay bargains threads.

I honestly don't think the performance is in any way effected, but I'll claim it next time I'm caught on the boundary!  ;)

I will go throught 2 or 3 scuff sheets a season, one through winter nets, a fresh one for the first game and then I might change it mid season if the sheet is marked too much for my liking.
I like a clean looking bat and I like a scuff sheet to help prolong the life. It's easier to rub marks off a scuff with white spirit than to sand a bat every weekend in my opinion.

I see the use of a scuff-sheet on a bat in the same way I do the case on my mobile phone...

Yes, it looks beautiful completely naked and without the protection. But do I trust myself not to scratch/dent/scuff it? Absolutely not.  ;)

So I'm knocking in a bat and cracks start appearing along the grain lines and I can feel these cracks, is this good or should I oil the bat again and continue a couple days later? (this is my first time knocking in a bat from scratch)

Give it a light sand, clean off all of the sanding dust then give it a light light oil. Leave overnight, then resume with the knocking.

Or just leave that bit until you've finished knocking in, the bat is going to crack up anyways, so I wouldn't worry too much about it until you've finished the job. Would probably recommend going a bit lighter with the mallet then building up the strike power. All depends on how bad and deep they are to be honest, I would probably knock in the surrounding areas to try level off the grains first before sanding!

The crack isn't that bad, I'm gonna sand a little and go a bit gentler with the mallet

@Gingerbusiness

Any chance of a youtube video with your knocking in process ? I have a oak mallet from elvis art which weighs rougly 700 grams. Is this closer to LV mallet or is it just the heavier version of GN mallet ?

Not as hard as LV, but Les's mallets are quality. The weight in that mallet will do a good job.
