Topps Redemption Day (and some recent pick ups 5/7)
Topps just sent out my Redemption in record time. Good Job, Topps.
Seriously thought I was going to waiting until next year ...
Just received what could possibly be my new favorite modern card.
(Too close to call ... My other new Favorite Modern Card will be posted later)

Yep ... It's a White Sox player ... Atypical for me, I know

Jose Abreu laser auto relic 10/10 on card auto. My only complaint ... It would have looked even better with a patch instead, but still. I love it!

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.

Oh that is a sharp looking card!
When Matt checks this thread out he is going to go nuts over that Abreu.
Beautiful card Doc, congrats!

Thanks! Yeah, I really didn't know what to expect when I got the redemption card. I was excited about it being a PC guy so I'm glad I redeemed it, because if it were anyone else (except for a few) I probably wasn't going to sit and wait 30 months for Topps to get around to it. With Abreu, I took a chance.

Thanks. I agree.
Topps did a beautiful and interesting design ... Now if I can only find a way to display it.
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.

Thanks, Aaron!
Just recently picked up these ... Another card that just earned a spot as a top 10 favorite Modern card (versus my favorite vintage cards) of my collection.

HEY! STOP TAKING MY CARDS! NO ONE LIKES STANTON OR ABREU EXCEPT FOR ME!
Sweet pick ups though. What product is that Abreu from?
