Tyler Eifert (finally met him)

On Oct. 27 the Bengals blew the Jets out of Cincy 49-9. Just yesterday I posted the Eifert signatures that I have had people get because I haven't had a chance to go and meet him. Well while I was at work the night after the game, I had my chance.

Apparently he's a Red Sox fan (and they won game 4 that night)

Tyler Eifert

Tyler Eifert has had 4 signings and I have yet to be able to meet him. I have had people go for me to 2 of them. Eifert had a signing the day after draft day, He has been on 2 radio show signing days and he had his rookie signing with Sanzenbacher on Oct. 26.
Eifert is a rising star for the Bengals offense this year. He was our number 1 draft pick to help us add a double TE set to our offense.

Reds HOF fan appreciation day

October 26 the Reds HOF had fan appreciation day with raffle prizes, autograph appearances, half price ball park tours, and lots of Halloween things for kids.

Among Reds signing were Jim O'Toole, Joe Price, Leo "Chico" Cardenas, and Tommy Helms.

I already have O'Toole and Cardenas so I had someone go through for Price and Helms for me, He also  got a free 2013 Reds HOF members poster and had O'Toole sign that.

Danny Tartabull through the mail

On 10/24/13 I received this Danny Tartabull card back. It was my longest wait for awhile, about 75 days. Tartabull was an All-Star in 91 and had a few good season for the Royals, and he also appeared on Seinfeld. He is also known for his public criticism of the Yankees ownership after being traded.
Danny Tartabull is one I wanted due to a childhood friend always beating me with him and Griffey Jr. in video games.

Peyton Manning through the mail 2013 edition

About a month ago I sent a card to Peyton and today I received it back. This is the 3rd time I have had a success from Manning. This card is Topps 2013 and with the year he is having, Super Bowl or not, this is an instant gem. He is on pace to break records and is proving the decision Indy made to be probably the worst of the franchise history. 

Sending this card was a little shot in the dark, but i took a chance and man it was a rewarding one.

T.Y. Hilton through the mail

The of the statues Morgan is right out front stealing 2nd base (which would be in the middle of 2nd St.), Kluszewski is in an on deck position with 3 bats over his shoulder, Robinson is swinging at a pitch from Nuxhall to Lombardi, and Bench is in front of the HOF entrance throwing out a baserunner somewhere near the Holy Grail Bar across the street.

Gio Bernard and Rex Burkhead

Gio is a super star rookie with awesome talent at the HB position for the bengals this year. He shows power, finesse, 3rd down or all down abilities. He has great hands to catch passes out of the backfield and has great open field speed. He currently is splitting snaps and taking less behind BJGE who is having a good year himself, but looks to be the future number one back for the bengals.

Burkhead has yet to take a snap in the regular season but showed enough potential in his opportunities in the preseason to make the cut. He is also known for his make a wish contribution to a young boy who was diagnosed with cancer who visited Rex and scores a TD during a scrimmage.
