Not heard of Salco as a bat manufacturer - I assume it's not an autograph bat?

I'm not sure even signed bats are worth that much unless it was used by one of the all time greats and for a specific innings etc. Signed bats get churned out for charity auctions left right and centre....I wonder how many DF Magnum's are around with Beefy's signature on them?!?!
