When real estate slowed down a great deal back in 2008/2009 and my income changed a great deal one of the things I really enjoyed doing (and could afford) was watch Joey Votto play baseball. He and Brandon Phillips kept me occupied at a time that was frustrating for me. I figured I would show some of the ones I have and plan to update when I buy different ones over the years.
Here is a few of his autographs I have bought and kept for my personal collection over the past few years.
This one is #'d out of 25
I would sell this one because it has Hamilton on it as well to try and save for the 2002 Bowman Chrome Gold Rookie / 50 of Votto.
Newest addition with some funds I had made buying some star packs and flipping them. This is a true factory stamped 1/1.

You gotta have somethin'....
If you wanna be with me!
Couple sick things. He's batting .576 in June so far.
Has only pulled a ball foul into the stands once in his entire career. and the 1 lonely time was in his rookie year.
He has not popped out to the infield all season, and ONLY 3 times the last 4 seasons over 2,138 plate appearances.
Anyway the guy is just plain old sick!!
Good for you for putting together a nice little hoard. Bet you've at least doubled what you paid for them.

A few years ago I took my son for a pair of IP signings Votto took part in. One was a team signing the other was at the Moeller show, he was a super nice guy and even took the time to let my son behind the table and sit next to him.
A very nice lot of Votto's. I need to pick up some Votto auto rookies. I don't have any surprising enough. I love the Hamilton/Votto card.
I did pick up a nice stash of Cozart and Devin M. auto rookies during spring training.

Did you watch the game tonight? Another multi-hit game for Votto and Phillips hit a bomb. They have been fun to watch the past two nights.
Here is one I picked up from an autograph hound in Houston. He got Joey to inscribe it.
I like the auto you got from Houston.

That's a lotto Votto!
Superb collection.
And yes, he has some sick statistics with the foul ball and pop ups. I bet he probably didn't even realize it until someone pointed it out to him.
But I have promises to keep,

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
What's up with the jersey on this card? It almost looks like a flannel from the 50s or 60s?
Is it just the case that the Votto is in making it look like that?
Only an idiot would have a message board signature.

That is a good question.
The jumbo patch came from a throwback jersey worn by Votto during a game.
I believe every year a team will wear a jersey from the past in a game.
That is one of the reasons I liked the patch so much.

That's AWESOME.
That was my initial guess, but I wasn't sure.
