New poster - Cincinnati Reds autographs - January 10th, 2013 This is my first post, so please be patient with me if I do something wrong.
I am a photographer AND a big Cincinnati Reds fan. My entire office is done in a Cincinnati Reds theme. I try to use my own photos when possible for display / autographs. All of these are my own photography. I dont want to take the time right now to do each of these as a separate topic, so please bear with me.
Joey Votto
Mailed early May 2012 to Votto c/o Cincinnati Reds. Received back signed, July 17, 2012

Josh Hamilton
Mailed early May 2012 to Hamilton c/o Rangers. Received back signed just recently, end of Dec. 2012.

Eric Davis
Ran into Eric Davis as well as Reds GM Walt Jocketty at a little convenience store on our way out of Cooperstown for the induction weekend this year with Barry Larkin. iphone, so not the best quality shot. Mailed early August to Davis, c/o Reds. Received back signed early December 2012. Also have one signed with Jocketty.

Johnny Cueto
Mailed early May 2012 to Cueto c/o Reds. Received back signed about a month later.

Aroldis Chapman
I was at the game where Chapman threw his first pitch for the Reds. Made up a collage and mailed two of them (one for him to keep) to Chapman, c/o Reds early May, 2012. Received one back signed about 10 days later.

Sean Casey
One of my all-time favorite Reds. Saw him in person at a charity function where I was the official photogapher. Got my jersey signed and photo taken with him. When I asked where to send it so he could sign them for me after I got them printed, he said to send it to him at MLB Network, then changed his mind and gave me his home address. Received back signed photo with nice note. This was in 2009. I really dont want to post his home address, since I dont have permission from him.

Failures include: Johnny Bench - had a GREAT photo of him I took at the HOF weekend and mailed it early August to his foundation address. Received the photo back, unsigned, with note from someone at the foundation saying it would be $60.
Barry Larkin - After the HOF induction weekend I put together a very nice collage presentation of his acceptance speech / award. I mailed two of the collages (one for him to keep), a HOF program, and a flash drive with all my photos from the event for him to keep. Requested one collage and HOF program to be signed. Mailed out to his home address early in August. No resonse yet. Still holding out hope.
Hope this is helpful!
