Cincinnati Reds Fan Pack

So I decided to get in on the fan pack fun, just for...well..fun.  A few weeks ago I requested fan packs from a number of MLB teams (via their "contact us" form), and I got a few packages back.  I plan on showing you all what items I score(d) from the teams. 

So far I have gotten fan packs from the Reds, Dodgers, A's, Red Sox, Royals, Tigers...and I think that's it for now.

Here are the items I scored from the Reds.  The Reds sent a very large envelope that held the stuff.

First, a letter thanking me for being a 'friend' and a 'fan':


Virtually all fan packs come with a pocket schedule. The Reds pocket schedule is sponsored by Bob Evans.  They have really good (and fattening) breakfast food.
Now we get into the cool part.  The Reds sent an entire team set of baseball cards!  This was a huge score for me because I collect Joey Votto cards, and this is a surely an oddball to add to the collection.  Some of the cards are foil--hard to see on the scans, but the Votto, Arroyo, Rolen, and Phillips cards are all shiny. 
You can see the backs of the cards below.  Pretty basic, but free!

The cards were sponsored by Thompson Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling.  You'll notice the Thompson logo on the back upper right hand corner of the cards.
Capping off the Reds fan pack are the sweet stickers below.  They are very high quality--the kind you would see in a store. 

All in all this fan pack was well above average.  It arrived quickly and it included a team set of baseball cards.  That's hard to beat!  If anyone is interested in one or all of the stickers...send me a Roy Halladay card (any card!) per sticker and we can trade.
