NEWLY EDITED... I still need three more Cavs, two more Indians, and one each for Browns and Bengals, any more thoughts?  Thanks for helping me think of these!

EDITED TO INCLUDE SUGGESTIONS thanks!  Biggest 'oh yeah' name was Bench lol

I plan on getting a table at a handful of shows here in the Columbus OH area this year.  Ohio State players are popular here, but table space is of course limited, and I am wanting input on top ten players for a variety of local teams that I don't have as much personal interest in.  Here's what I'm thinking (no particular order within the top ten):

Reds:  Pete Rose, Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Larkin, Joey Votto, Joe Morgan, Brandon Phillips, Johnny Bench, Jay Bruce, Billy Hamilton, Frank Robinson, anybody different?

Indians:  Francisco Lindor, Corey Kluber, Manny Ramirez, Jason Kipnis, Jim Thome, Rocky Colavito, Sandy Alomar, Albert Belle, who else?

Browns:  Joe Thomas, Joe Haden, Jim Brown, Otto Graham, Cody Kessler, Bernie Kosar, Brian Sipe, Ozzie Newsome, Earnest Byner, who else?

Bengals:  AJ Green, Andy Dalton, Carson Palmer, Anthony Munoz, Chad Johnson, Boomer Esiason, Geno Atkins, Tyler Eifert, Ken Anderson, who else?

Cavs:  Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, JR Smith, Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, Zydrunus Ilgauskas, who else?

Players from these teams not in the 'top ten' I figure will be lumped together in a big box, separated by base, RC, insert, parallel.  I'm sure I'll add teams located within a couple hours of CBus like Steelers, Pirates, Colts, Penguins, Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, Pistons, Pacers; but starting with the Ohio based teams for now due to space.  I already have a good handle on Bluejackets since I'm also a big fan of them.

Thanks for your input guys!  Interested to hear what people think!

Without doing any research,  I would add Jim Thome and Colavito to Cleveland and Vada Pinson to Cincinnati.

Without doing any research, Ilgauskas  as a Cav. Reds: Bench, Perez, other Ken Griffey. 

Browns: Bernie Kosar, Brian Sipe, Ozzie Newsome, Earnest Byner

Bengals: Boomer Esiason, Ken Anderson

Reds: Frank Robinson, Dave Concepcion

I would include more mid 90's Indians- Alomar, Manny, Belle and Thome. Has Andrew miller been in Cleveland long enough? He doesn't have many Cleveland cards and although he is a great reliever, he isn't really a superstar. I know Griffey wasn't great for the Reds, but everyboby loves him.

Being from the Cincinnati area, I think the list you have there is very good. If you have room you might want to consider some current players, Billy Hamilton for the Reds, and Geno Atkins and Tyler Eifert for the Bengals. Bengals fans especially seem to care for the current players more than historical players. The list for the Reds looks great though. The 1970 era guys are VERY popular here.

As a Reds fan, maybe add Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce. Although they are not currently Reds, they were very popular while playing there. BTW what shows are you lokking at. I am from Lima , about an hour+ from Columbus. I have not been to a card show in ages. Life always seems to get in the way.  :0)

Ooooh, you know a slightly forgotten star whom I hear was beloved in Cincinnati? Paul O'Neill.

For the Cincinnati Reds, Eric Davis for sure....
