Re: My Cincinnati Reds / Joey Votto GRAIL!!!!

That is an awesome display... I can't think of a better honor for a game used collector.

Thank you...I feel the same. I love to share my collection so there's nothing more rewarding than having others enjoy as much as I do

Kind of cool...My 100th HR bat and batting helmet are now proudly displayed at the Reds HOF at ballpark along with several more of my items. Much better than storage in my basement I would say

Himes:

Are you also lending your '08 Signed Votto BP jersey, or did you have to sell it to fund the '08 Glove or 100th Homer Jersey? It was pretty cool seeing a BP jersey from back to '08 and IMHO your '08 batting practice jersey in the regular database authenticated to the autograph at minimum beats the "Player Authenticated" database jerseys that KLF's been selling.

Possibly loaning it, but do have a couple guys interested in buying it. If your interested Dan shoot me an email!

Thanks for the pictures Ryan. I'm sure somebody would love to grab that jersey. I'm sure there's a pretty limited supply of these BP/ST old style jerseys around.

Does the small card describing the items mention that they are on loan from your collection?

I am planning on loaning parts of my 49er game worn collection to the team for display in the HOF that will open with the new stadium. We have already met about the subject and the team is interested in quite a few pieces. My family and I were invited to 49er HQ last month and had a complete tour of the place which was quite a thrill.

When you loaned your items to the team what kind of arrangements were made with regards to length of loan and with regards to insurance if anything was damaged or stolen.

Thanks for your response.

Always buying 49er game used!

The card does not mention my name. The Reds HOF have a simple insurance form where you the loaner describe the item(s) in detail, place your own value to be insured on them, and the length of the loan is at their discretion however you can always remove items...they just ask for 30 days notice if possible. Hope that helps, and GOOD LUCK, sounds awesome!

Further to Ryan's point, the Reds HOF has put the loaner's name on certain placards for this year's displays. It might be a cultural thing that varies from city to city, but here in Cincinnati loaner names on placard's seem inappropriate to me. I noticed on a few item's this year that the title "MD" accompanied the loaner name.

Perhaps a thing to consider is whether you are compelled to have your name on the placard to feel a healthful pride of sharing wonderful items with other fans. For Reds HOF lenders, the prevailing answer seems to be that personal attention isn't necessary.
