Whilst strolling through the local town centre yesterday I popped into the little cricket shop there just to say hello as I get on with the owner quite well and whilst having a look round stumbled across this,



Guess the grade

[smilley792]

Limited edition.

GM are very good with their grading, so will say G2.

[liscon12]

808/606 grainy, a bit of heart wood and a couple of blemishes

[simonmay5]

Looks a nice bat mate profile is very good

[Batbuddy99]

Yeah I'm guessing 606

[tom line]

Just for anyone interested it's 2'8.5

[avkrish]

404?

[SwingAndMiss]

606

Just posing the question suggests it has been graded lower than we might expect. Lots of grains, a few very minor blemishes, nice bit of heartwood.
I'll say 808.

Or the opposite, someone believes it's been graded much higher than they believe it should.



The new added Low weight makes me believe it is the top end of gms scale .


Me and @WalkingWicket37 would snap this up, heartwood one ight side and abit of character with the marks. Shame it's stupidly light for me.

I know the grade already due to the pics you showed me.
I have seen GM 808 bats that don't look as good as this does.
And I notice that most are saying 606 as they realise that it is has been stickered as a lower model that the willow shows it should actually be!!
Anyway, great find Tom!!

[simonmay5]

My assumption was it was graded down for the minor aesthetic imperfections rather than being a slightly less good looking high grade if that makes sense and also factoring in GM seem generous with grading... so is it a 606 then?

Not a 606

[tom line]

Right, time to fess up. @avkrish well done sir you are the only one to guess correctly.

That is mental mate for a 404, I just need a Mana 404 to look that good and it's mine!
