    Re: whats your best or most prized piece of Cincy memorabilia?

    I have a framed copy of Harper's Weekly that has a picture of the Cincinnati Red Stockings team circa 1870 -- forget the exact date right now ---

    most prized though -- Yankees hater here but my 1938 Yankees team ball is pretty special to me since it was Gehrig's last full year -- I used to have a 1908 Cubs World Series program, schedule, yearbook & team postcard -- but I sold them for a price I could not refuse
    The older I get - the better I was

    and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)

    I miss Raisor

    I have a Johnny Vander Meer autograph baseball that has the dates he pitched his no-hitters written below by him.

    I have a Sean Casey bobble head that has the head super glued back on.

    Otherwise it's probably the 1975 pocket schedule from First National Bank.

    Game caught ball. My dad gave it to our neighbor Jack Billingham, who took the rest of the season to get every BRM player to sign it during the '76 season. Johnny Bench was the biggest hold out.

    My ticket stub from the game on Sept 11, 1985. Top row of the red seats, but I was there to see Pete break Cobb's record. Great memory to this day.

    Re: whats your best or most prized piece of Cincy memorabilia?

    In June 2013, I got a wild hair and tried collecting autographed baseball cards of the entire 1990 team: the opening day starting nine, key bench guys, relievers, “cup-of-coffee” guys, guys who were traded away mid-season, coaches — even television and radio broadcasters. 50 people all together. I finished the collection about 6 months later. (To be fair, I had several on-hand already, but I decided to fill in the gaps.) I even wrote a letter to the elusive Billy Bates and was shocked when he replied.

    Glad I did it. Monetarily, it might not be worth much, but for me it's priceless.

    Cute, but it's either math or biology that isn't your strong suit. I have a December birthday. March is the month.

    I have this clock that looks like the scoreboard in Crosley and shows what it looked like at the end of the game. The clock is kinda broken but it looks cool.

    Yesterday I came across a bunch of ticket stubs from games I went to with my grandpa. Memories of those days came rushing back and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

    I have a 1975 Reds World Champions Pepsi bottle, unopened.
    I have a 1969 Reds scorecard signed by Rose, Bench and Perez, among others, at a game I attended.
    I have two Pete Rose Louisville Slugger bats from the mid-1970s. I used both of them in games until one bat was cracked, at which point I "retired" them both from game play.
    I have Reds yearbooks from 1967 though 1986.
    I have Topps baseball cards from around 1966 through about 1971 of various Reds, including Rose, Bench, Perez, May, Maloney, Gullett, Concepcion, Nolan, et al, along with a few since that era.
