You can feel the line where is was painted like someone taped it off at the factory before they painted it... There is no clear coat on it or anything... is that how it is susposta be? i thought it was kinda odd?

that's a good ol' TPS PowerDome. It was out at the same time as the Ritch's Superior. I think it came out in '93, I bought one in '94. I swung a 32oz one throughout the 90s and right up until a few years ago. I've seen two or three of them pop up on the board over the past few months. I swear half of the bat's weight is in that silver cap. There's a lot of different model #s on those bats - same bat just different signatures. I had a Jimmy Powers one and a Britt Hightower one. I remember the bat quickly losing popularity as the C405 alloys hit the market and shortly after that DeMarini put out a doublewall

model # should be on the barrel somewhere. There were a number of these so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few versions w/out signatures. Here are the two that I had:
I think I saw one of these sell here for for $40 or $50 just a week or two ago. On eGhey you can probably fetch $50 - $70 if you wait until spring.

yep, that's the model #. I believe they all started w/ TPSD..... After the TPSD mine listed the length & weight of the bat and a letter indicating which player signature was on it -- mine were TPSD3432M and TPSD3430D. The bat was very good w/ the mush balls and good in the cold weather when you didn't want to triangle a doublewall.

If the above is true, and that is the model number then you have a Player's Model TPS Power Dome. This thing should really hit the mush well, and will probably be either above stickered weight or have a massive endload.
