Description

NIW 1998 1st Edition OG Miken HHD Composite Softball Bat - Pre-Ultra! Historical Significance
. This New In Wrapper (NIW) Miken is one of the most historical bats of all-time! This Miken HHD pre-dates the Ultra 1 and it is Miken's foray into the world of composite bats. If you are a Miken fan this may be one of just a few remaining New In Wrapper (NIW) 1998 1st Edition Miken HHDs for you to acquire. The importance of this bat, to the softball world, can not be overstated. THIS IS MIKEN'S 1ST COMPOSITE BAT!!! If NIW collectible bat values continue in the direction they appear to be going, this will be one of the more valuable bats of all-time.This is our sport, guys and if you look around at other collectibles, our values are just getting going. It's happening NOW and
now
is the time to acquire the absolute best of the best of vintage bats NIW. Miken has one of the HHDs that is new hanging on their hall of fame, but even their bat is not still in the original wrapper, like this one. I do not know of a more historically significant slow-pitch softball bat.
For Disclosure:
While NIW, the end cap has an ever so slight blemish from storage.
The knob
sticker
has some fading and a tear (paper sticker) to the right of the OZ., knob is flawless.
Q: Why is the NIW so important?
A: NIW shows off the bat as it left the factory. In this case, before anyone even knew who Miken was.
In 1997-1998 Batwars competition (the 1st ever), the Miken HHD was the winner!
