September memorabilia pickups

Thanks. The quality and detail on these is amazing. I am a big supporter of/and contributor to the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. Each year, in addition to the more permanent exhibits, they curate a feature exhibit. I think their original thoughts were that some local business entity(ies) would step up to purchase these to help offset the cost as they would look great in just about any business (ok, maybe not every business) Sadly, this did not happen. I bought 2, but just can�t take 3.

I am really hoping that someone snags the 3rd one in the major league auction:

You can find the link to this auction under the tab �SHOPS� at the right side of the screen.

Thank goodness that's not Giants or I would pretty much have to have it.

I'll bet the exhibit is pretty cool.

Wow, is that giant Reds bobblehead cool!

That is awesome Dave and you got 2!! Perfect addition to your already incredible collection.

Looks like they cannot ship it... Bummer

Hopefully someone locally will snag that last one. If not a private collector, it would look great in the entry area of almost any restaurant or bar. They might want to put it under an acrylic cover, though.... I would think the temptation to bob its head would be overwhelming!

Whoa! That thing is cool...and to have two of them??

Here's the direct link to the auction. Can we know what the reserve is?

Dan,

Yup.. I bought two.. Just can't do all 3 based on the size/space requirements. As far as the reserve, my guess is not too much more than the opening bid. The detail is incredible and it goes to a good cause, the Reds HoF and Museum as they are just trying to recoup some of the costs for the exhibit.

Looks like the third Mr. Redleg nodder is going to sell in the on-line auction as the reserve has been met. Great news of the Reds Museum.

Picked up a pair of these at very reasonable prices yesterday. Have wanted one for a little while. I don't consciously collect Marquard, but I do have a growing Marquard collection...
