Something different from the back to back title years - a couple of game used baseballs from Opening Day in 1975 and Opening Day in 1976.
The '75 comes with a letter of provenance and the '76 has a Reds 580 Gift Shop certificate with it.

Ben,

this baseball is amazing with its provenance. i am glad you have it in your awesome reds collection. just an amazing collections. how did you get it?

I put together some photos on the Reds Bicentennial bats for an article...

Ben

This photos is like traveling back in time. Another shot that would be cool is a shot of the bats in the bat holders in the dugout just like you would see them in a game in 1976. Can you share with us once the article is published. I know I want an autographed copy from you.

Pete Rose game used 1977-78 Reds R195 gamer. Uncracked. Fantistic use. Taube/PSA perfect 10 grade. Got really interested in the bat when I found out it matched his ordering records with the Reds in 77 and 78 and wasn't a Phillies 79 bat. Taube said the little painting doesn't affect the grading one or the other, as it could easily be removed. I'm keeping the painting on for now. Here's pictures.

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

Very nice Rose bat, teddy406. What do you or Taube know about the painting? Being a Reds fan I wouldn't be completely against removing it but I do think it's a good likeness.

Here's some photos of bats that have the little paintings of the players on them-similar to my 77-78 Rose bat:

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

Ben, awesome additions to the collection. If you need to move any Rose or Morgan bats to make room, just let me know!

Great stuff as always.

1978 Reds Japanese trip game worn set by Mickey Duval. Jersey and pants. All original with numerous Reds coas. Thought it was pretty cool. He didn't make the big squad going into 1979, after this trip, but played in Indi. Here's pics.
