Tony Perez collection in Reds Hall of Fame

mcholke

I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute several of my Perez collection pieces to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame exhibit they just established of Tony Perez. A member of the Hall came to the house in January and selected several items. They just opened the exhibit last week. A local Cincinnati TV station filmed from inside the exhibit. This is the first time I have seen any of it. At the 1 minute mark and then again at 1:30 you can see elements of the Perez exhibit and many of the items from the collection are included. The Hall took other items I don't see yet so looking forward to see some additional photos and hopefully getting there during the year. Here is the video link

I lifted a couple photos from the article

Majority of jerseys/equipment are from my closet



I think all of these goodies are from me


I received some new photos





If anyone happens to go see the exhibit, I would love to see other photos.

Found another News Station Clip
Looks like PSA cards are in the back against the wall but cannot tell for sure

That's incredible! I know you mentioned they were displaying some of your Perez items a couple months back, but didn't realize how much of the displays were going to be yours.

Congratulations Kevin, that is awesome! The Reds have a great museum, my son and I toured it last summer before a game.

Thanks, there should be more as well. They took all of my PSA graded Perez cards and were going to make a section of those as well. I suspect it just did not make the video cut.

Thanks for sharing. I cannot wait to see this exhibit in person. I am about to renew my membership to the museum. If any of you get a chance, The Reds HOF museum is terrific. It is a must see.

What a fantastic display. Kevin has a tremendous collection of a very worthy subject. We've been privileged to watch it grow over the years.

That's just great. The Reds HOF is a fun museum and have a lot of well-done exhibits. If you're interested in Reds HOF stuff, you might like to check out my collection at http://www.psacard.com/PSASetRegistry/publishedset.aspx?s=132667.

Very cool. I have never seen a 1965 with Perez on top and/or bottom. It would be my favorite as well.

That's very cool. I agree that the Reds museum is a must visit. I've been to several in the different ballparks but that may be my favorite. Plus they gave us all Johnny Bench bobble heads when we left!

Received new photos which have been added to original post.
