Re: RedsFest ????

Just got home and all I can say is that this was easily my worst Redsfest experience ever

I got in way too late because of traffic. I didn't even hit the main entrance doors until 4:30


Nothing but crap bats and overpriced jerseys

There were about 20-25 bats each of Paul Bako, Corey Patterson, Javier Valentin and Scott Hatterberg

The only Votto bats left were in multiple pieces or missing wood

No Bruce stuff at all


I am getting really tired of seeing scrub bats from 3 years ago as well

And once again some dealer got in early and bought up everything good.

He/She had a big stack of jerseys, like 4-5 Votto bats, 7-8 batting helmets.


In my opinion the whole trip was a giant waste of time and Im sorry that I went

Interesting story..Any idea if the 'dealer' someone from here, or someone that sells on ebay, etc.. ?

Re: RedsFest ????

The Game Used selection from the RCF was a disappointment this year, worst I've seen in last several years. Surprisingly, I counted at least 8 Votto bats & nearly the same from Dunn (though his were beat up a little more, cracked, broken, etc. A friend of mine purchased 1 of each, the Dunn was signed). I heard of one person getting a Bruce, but didn't see it. Also saw a Votto helmet being sold. I was near the front of the line, one of the first to check out the gamers, went straight to the jerseys..There was a pile of jerseys (mostly $75), bats (including 2 Votto's) & several common helmets ($30 each) near the entrance but that person did not enter early, in fact entered after I did...From what I saw, had a helper & grabbed what they could, an attendant watched over it as they continued to shop, likely a dealer or ebayer, but can't be sure. My friend followed me by several minutes, walked over to the bat bin & picked out his Votto. I purchased 3 jerseys & 8 hats, 7 of which are the "Patriotic" red/white/blue style (only one's I saw available). We left around 630pm and there were still items available, nothing new had been put out. Along w/ jerseys, hats, helmets & bats, there were also pants & some catching gear. Will be glad to answer any questions others may have. Jay ldonalds@columbus.rr.com

If anybody obtained anything interesting on Dunn like one of the Patriotic hats described please contact me at skyking442@hotmail.com. I am set on a Reds bat, but need a jersey. Does not sound like a jersey was available on him...

Re: RedsFest ????

They also had at least 2 of the Joe Nuxhall #41 jerseys the team wore on Opening Day

I saw Bill Bray and someone else. Forget the number

$300 pricetag on the Bill Bray.


I picked up a Josh Roenicke Game Used Road Cool Base Jersey with the "Nuxy" patch on the sleeve.

I was happy to get that as he is one of my favorite Reds players.

Also saw a Homer Bailey ST jersey for $225.

Re: RedsFest ????

I have not heard anything about Dunn returning to Cinn. I know the Nationals have always had an eye on him, and if they can't sign Tex., then he figures to move to top priority. For Dunn to go there, he'll get the payday but be playing for another team going nowhere. It would be nice to see him have a chance to play with a contender...

Re: RedsFest ????

There were a couple of Dunn jerseys available, but I didn't get to check for wear/year, etc. They didn't last long. Jay.

Re: RedsFest ????

Which they had mixed in with the game used stuff

Re: RedsFest ????

Dont know about the Brandon Phillips bat, but I know the Votto bat has been on Ebay before the gates opened at Redsfest. So I know that's not from Redsfest, at least not this years.
