Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

Rose bats turned out great Ben. Just curious, did Pete ask you how you knew which year they were from or did he just take your word for it?

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

Wow. Great pickups, Ben. What is great about these bats is that you definitely know what year it was used and it was a great team to boot. How many more do you need to complete the 1976 Reds set?

Thank you both...and Joel, yes, I am really close here on the Reds team set...

Ben -- Great collection of items from one of the greatest and most famous teams of all time. Not a Reds fan myself, but it's cool to see and thanks for posting the photos here.

Was that at Steve Wolters Sports Investments shop in Montgomery? That place is awesome if you are a Reds fan

Yes, you are right, that is the Wolter's place Sports Investments in Cincinnati...

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

The museum photo I posted is the only one I took. Guess I should have taken more photos! It was a quick trip. Mike

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

A couple of shoddy phone pics from an incredible Reds game used collection my uncle took me too see when I visited Cincy earlier this summer. I can't remember the name of the friendly gentleman whom it belonged too off hand. But, hopefully he's a member on here and can share more detailed photos since there was a ton of amazing pieces.

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

Those are some great Rose and Bench bats.

I had the opportunity to visit the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum last weekend. Living in Alabama, this is not a trip I get to make very often. I did provide my Nolan, Gullett and Borbon Jerseys for their Big Red Machine Exhibit.

Mike, very nice seeing some of your items at the Reds Museum, I am sure. Do you have any other photos of the various displays that they have setup there?
Or if any others here have their photos from the Reds Museum/Big Red Machine exhibit, I would love to see them posted.

Thanks,

Ben

Mike, great bat for Tony Perez, got the 580 tape too...

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

Hi Jeff, I picked up the Perez bat about 2-3 years ago. I did recently see that someone was selling a 76 Perez bat, but I was not the buyer. Mike

Re: Big Red Machine Collectors

I know Jeff is a Big Red Machine collector! He has quite a few paintings in his collection as well

I always appreciate the chance to show off my stunning "Great Eight" paintings as well as your talent!
