Just got back from Redsfest!!!

Re: Just got back from Redsfest!!!

From what I have heard and seen there were some decent jerseys that made it out to the public. Heard of just about everyone so far other then Chapman and Bruce (if you picked up a Bruce get a hold of me ).

Also have to give it to the Reds, kept the prices reasonable on most of the jerseys.

Not sure

yea, me. I was there and had a great show. The one bat pictured with the purple tape came off my table, but the bat wasn't mine. A friend of mine had that on my table.

Only really went to get one item signed by Joey Votto. Game used first base from 2010 opening day. Waited a long time but it was worth it.

Loving that just about every new jersey currently on eBay has crisp "Property" tagging.

Wonder how many actual "game used" jerseys were really sold at Redsfest?

Re: Just got back from Redsfest!!!

No kidding, and the Reds put on the price tag Game Used Jersey. Looking forward to seeing what these come up as in the MLB database whenever they get entered.

Re: Just got back from Redsfest!!!

From what I saw on Saturday, a lot of the jerseys were issued and what was actually used showed minimal to very little wear

Chris, you should have gone Friday. From everything I have heard and seen there was pounded jerseys from Votto, Phillips, Bruce, Cueto, Bailey, Gomes and guessing many more that are in collections that I am unaware of.

Re: Just got back from Redsfest!!!

Yeah - the doors opened at 4pm Friday and I'd say that by 5:30 all of the good stuff was gone. I counted 4-5 major purchasers including myself, fellow board members, and a few dealers. Everything I got was either heavily worn or at least worn enough for a few series. I saw plenty of "issued" looking items around. I would've grabbed a Valaika home but it was definitely too fresh. My Votto, Gomes, and Heisey looked like they were worn half of the season or more. A Bruce and Phillips were in there? Geez! I'm looking for a Phillips home if you know who bought it. I've got a Phillips road to trade...

Re: Just got back from Redsfest!!!

I wanted to be there Friday but I couldn't get out of a prior commitment

Any idea of pricing on the Bruce?
