My First Abreu auto (no! Not Bobby ... Jose :) )
Here it is ... Donruss! Not bad for an unlicensed sticker auto, right?
Doesn't look like any logos had to be eradicated for this photo.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Nice! Easily the AL ROY.
Got my first Abreu auto via redemption just a couple weeks ago. I'm a fan.

RE: My First Abreu auto (no! Not Bobby ... Jose :) )
Thanks everyone! Yeah, I agree ... He's a lock for ROY this year. He was a beast! I was hoping to get on the 'Abreu boat' before it set sail. I predicted Trout's collectibility, (in a letter column in Beckett a couple of years ago) but never got an auto.
I just bought a graded Abreu off the Bay ... Hopefully that's coming soon. Tier One ... Looks great, can't wait!

Very nice. Was it a pack pull?
I do have a Bobby somewhere and willing to trade it to you for the Jose.

For sure ROY, to bad Tanaka got hurt, he probably would have won if not for the injury. Abreu will probably also be top 3 in AL MVP in his rookie season. Personally I am going to be upset if Abreu prices don't go up to the value of Puig rookie cards. Hes so much better than Puig its not even a contest.
If you see anything you want in any of my break posts and you have any Frank Thomas cards you are willing to trade please let me know.
