THANKS...Can also be seen in April Pick-Ups. I have it photo matched a TON in 2008, but just recently was able to match to 2007 in AAA Louisville due to matching serial number by Rawlings on backside. I can only assume that he used during his MLB stint in 2007.

That's a great glove, and just the use indicates that it was a multiple-year mitt. How much is something like this worth?

I take great pleasure in seeing your collection, Himes. What you have put together from the Camden Yards game where he hit HR#100 and 101 and his 600th hit is simply amazing. I think the best way initially to contribute to your thread is with the 600th hit ball, which was MLB authenticated when thrown in the dirt to Rolen on the next pitch.

High resolution photos attributed to the 600th hit confirm that he used your bat for the 600th hit has well.

I hope your thread takes on a life of its own with numerous collectors sharing.

Go Reds!

I am always interested in Joey Votto items, and would like to know what older "hit balls" are out there. Votto hit balls are the epicenter of our collection.

There has been discussion on our forum about alternate gloves to which use in the '06 Futures Game had been implied by inscriptions and/or provenance letters. This glove, displayed at the Reds Hall of Fame next to the Walk Off Grand Slam Mothers Day Jersey is photo matched to Getty image 71404082. The final score of the Yankees game on the Scoreboard in the background assures the photo was taken during the actual '06 Futures Game. The photo is factually not from warmups as the '06 MLB Futures Game began before the Yankees game went final.

PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR ALL JOEY VOTTO ITEMS

PROFESSIONAL CINCINNATI REDS COLLECTOR, free of absurd posturing.

Email: rdeversole@gmail.com Twitter: @dugoutrelics



Eversole: Your positioning brings a perplexed look to my face. While you have (at one time or another) owned far more Votto items than most actual Votto collectors ever will, can you please be open about what you call being a “Professional” collector… you are factually right now selling Votto hit balls to the highest bidder on eBay while simultaneously tagging your posts here that you are paying top dollar for all Votto items. What happened to your other Votto bats, your St Patty’s day hat, your hit ball vs the Indians?


I’m reminded of ticket scalpers on my way into Great American ballpark who hold a sign in one hand which reads “I need tickets”, while holding out 50 tickets in the other. Lots of collectors barter on occasion but don’t (like you) need to register a URLs for their business enterprise. There is nothing wrong with being a dealer either, just don’t pretend to be some (professional) prurient collector for being kind enough to share pictures of your merchandise.



This was and still can be a nice thread… I hope that you back of the BS meter and collectors broadly will choose to post some great items over time without fearing pointing people to your free advertising. But I for one can’t justify sharing on a thread where a dealer is posturing as some communal collector and tagging his posts with his “I need tickets” sign.


If anybody is selling Votto stuff and wants “top dollar”, they can skip the dealer and sell directly to focused collectors who don’t need to make a margin. In addition to myself (plettner at fuse net) there are plenty of other Votto collectors. If the item doesn’t fit one collector's focus or current budget, we collectors will usually refer you directly to another collector who is most interested in your item and doesn’t need to make a profit margin, or a reputable and forthcoming dealer.


Attached is a photo of the focused Votto centerpiece among the current reds display at the Reds Hall of Fame. This particular Votto focused display includes the rookie season 20th HR ball, the 3 HR and Walkoff Grand Slam 2012 Mother's Day Jersey, and the Fielding Glove last worn at the '06 MLB Futures Game. There is lots more to see in an adjacent more diversified display. Votto items from multiple forum members collections are currently on display for all to share and enjoy.

Go Votto and Go Hobby!

What a "collection".... What a "collector"...


For admirers of rdeversole's "collection" shown off here as personal collection "highlights" last week, he listed another of his personal collection highlights:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-Joey-Votto-Game-Used-Rookie-Baseball-Bat-Cincinnati-Reds-MLB-Authenticated-/380653666744?

From my perspective, there is nothing wrong in America with being a small scale entrepreneur... just own what you are... a dealer.

To answer the question "where is the love"... I feel our board is abused to have just been shown his "highlights" last week in anticipation of him marketing them on eBay. It more or less killed what had been a well liked thread here. He did the same thing in another thread recently which I won't draw notice of until after that auction ends for fear of giving him more free advertising in an auction environment.

The particularly strong need to be observant here comes from my experience observing this particular dealer habitually portraying himself as a communal collector when in practice he is a (non-forthcoming) dealer. I need to be careful not to tell broader stories which could be perceived to bemoan the person's character. But the collecting community deserves to know the truth about posting practices for the person who is constantly on here trolling for new inventory and giving people the impression that he is generally just one of us collectors.

Beautiful Bat And So Is The Helmet On MLB Auctions! I Disagree Kind Sir, Wouldn't A Dealer Only Deal? A "Hoarder" In My Book Never ISells Anything! Collectors Change Their Mind All The Time. Maybe Next Year I Want To Collect Camo Jerseys So I Sell All The Jerseys I Have Now To Make Room. That Makes Me A Dealer? I'm Just Kind Of Confused By Your Definition Of Collector And Dealer? Maybe The Votto Collector Wants That Helmet On MLB Auctions And Needs Some Extra Cash To Make The Purchase.

Why do you keep hating on JDEVERSOLE? You mention that this WAS an enjoyable thread. Who says it still isn't? Just because you don't agree with something he is doing doesn't mean everyone feels that way. He isn't breaking any forum rules. Leave the guy be. As another member said, maybe he wants to keep the cash flowing so he can get something else he wants. Either way, you look bad for posting about him. Then to do it twice or more makes it look like you're stirring the pot.

I'd like to commend JDEVERSOLE for NOT responding to the negativity and not getting involved in the drama.

Why do you keep hating on RDEVERSOLE?

Hating is the wrong word. Where Eversole and Eversole's ways are present, I simply try not to be there. So I guess I can only say he ruined this thread as a place for me to share my own Votto collecting.

To answer your question more generally... when I first met Eversole he convinced me to doubt the negative things I'd heard from others about him. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and learned over time the reason that Ryan was so convincing is that he believes himself that what he says is true irregardless as to whether his statements are 0 % true or 5% true.

Is it breaking a GUU rule to show off your collection in a highlights thread and then list it for sale very, very shortly thereafter? Well... is it in keeping with the spirit of our fine forum? I don't think so.

I apologize that my own outspoken nature regarding certain folks and certain practices are not to your liking.

Just an FYI, but they have the game-used baseball of that infamous fielder's choice out that Votto recorded up on MLB auctions right now. Pretty cool piece if you don't get the jersey.
