Yeah, we had a discussion about this about a year ago. I think it was in the "show off your collections" thread. I've got a collection of about 30-40 various bats, the vast majority are the Big Stick variety w/a couple Louisville Sluggers. I have 2 or 3 game used bats, and then a few un-used game model bats that are signed by said player - Molitor, Yount, and Braun. Those are actually my favorite, but are so expensive and hard to come by that it's not worth the hassle in my opinion. I like the non game used bats because I feel they look better - the autograph stands out more since the finish on the bat is glossy. But like everyone's previously said, it's all a matter of personal opinion.
