Eric Davis

I tried Eric Davis for years, no TTM returns, never got in the RedsFest line fast enough, or never bought the item allowing the autograph (of the purchased item). I was finally able to jump in a line quick enough to get a few. I even offered to trade my card for his WS ring, he gave me the funniest look.

Dmitri Young

This is one I was never able to get as a kid, but now he does a lot of work with the Reds again. He came back to RedsFest, makes guest announcing appearances. I was able to get this one at RedsFest.

Dmitri Young 02 Topps

Jack McKeon

About a week ago I sent to Jack McKeon former Reds and Marlins manager. He won Manager of the year with both teams and managed the Marlins to the 2003 World Series to win that year. Only took about 10 days to come back.

McKeon 98 SGA

Andrew Bynum

I know what most of you are thinking after reading the title, but he WAS a promising young talent for the Lakers after Shaq left. Now he is injury prone, but still a force to be reckoned with in the post, when he actually plays. He is a Pacer for those who don't know. One of the only current (at the time) Lakers players to actually respond to fan mail, props to him.

Bynum 08 Topps

Wily Mo Pena

Wily Mo was an outfielder who was backup for Griffey Jr. He got some decent play time while Griffey was struggling with injuries and he wasn't bad at all. He also has an awesome name, lol. In 2011 I was getting into buying cards again and was going through what I had, I came across an 02 SGA set and Wily Mo Pena was in there. I wanted to get it signed and looked up where he was, AND HE WAS STILL PLAYING! He was on some Reno, NV team that is a Minor League affiliate of the Diamondbacks. I was lucky to get it signed and returned, and shortly after he was called up to play for the Diamondbacks for a few games.

Bengals notecards

So in 2011 I bought tons of Topps and they put these nifty blanks in the packs. I kept all of mine to get signed for when I didn't have an actual card for the person, which actually happens quite often because I'm picky on cards I like and want signed. Here are all the notecards I've had Bengals sign.

2000 MLB HOF Commemorative Coins

In 2000 Kroger sold HOF commemorative coins for the Cincinnati Inductees Marty Brennaman, Tony Perez and Sparky Anderson. We bought like 6 sets of them. Unfortunately I can never get the Sparky one signed now but I have the other 2 and can try to get any others that come out from now onward.
