Is a Upton Auto is worth 65 to you? Well, since your questioning it I would say no. I mean, Jay Bruce is my and my daughters favorite player, to meet him in person and get an auto...priceless. To buy one on Ebay, 39.99<br />In my opinion, never turn down the chance to meet and get a players autograph, it is just not worth the chance! Money comes and goes...daily.

If he played for the Mets, I'm sure I'd feel differently. <br /><br />Regardless, you're not likely to pay less for the opportunity to get an autograph from him in a card show environment.<br /><br />If it were me, I'd get the 2011 All-Star Game ball signed underneath the AS game logo. (I'd probably try to get single-signed All-Star Game baseballs from any other Diamondbacks who were picked for the game too - it's really a once-in-a-generation thing to have your team host the All-Star Game.)Paul Hadsallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886355050567035004noreply@blogger.com
