Well, it took years to finally get an auto of this guy, one of my all time favorites to ever put on the pads. It may not be the most expensive card I own, or the rarest, but instantly one of my FAVORITES!!!
(I sent in for the redemption just about a year ago)

These are the days that true collectors live for.
06 Absolute Bruschi auto 91/100

Plus I got my Merriweather 07 Donruss Classics auto, and my 07 Artifacts Caldwell in too, so a pretty sweet mailday!!!

Here's the Gem!! (plus the others)

Nice cards Man!

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I got an email from Donruss the other day stating that they sent my redemption, but in big bold letters it said something along the lines of: "You may not have received your original card, due to the athlete not signing, if that is the case an equal value replacement was sent ."
I basically figured that was their nice way of saying, sorry bro, but you are out of luck, heres a crappy replacement. Plus I heard a rumor Bruschi didn't sign for any UD products last year, so I just figured I was screwed.
Needless to say I was a bit excited to pull this out of the old bubble envelope!!

very nice!!

o man as a pats collector I envey you.... I'm gonna go after one of those caldwells myself didnt even know they had autos in pats uniform of him already
