Baseball 2009 Pres Pass Fusion (Tony Gwynn ?)

[orangedolphin]

I just opened a box of 2009 Press Pass Fusion and pulled numerous Autos, but the question I have is in reference to the Tony Gwynn Auto #ered to 199 that I pulled. He did not sign his name he signed "MR PADRE". Has anyone heard of this. Thanks, Billy

That was his nickname (or at least one of them)...

That's a very nice card!

Thanks ilikepie. The regular auto books $50, but it says nothing about the nickname auto. Here is a pic of it......

usually if not specified as a seperate set, the players will sign a limited few with something other than their regular signature...nice card and probably way fewer than reg sigs...

Very nice pull. Might want to write or call Press Pass and see if they can tell you how short printed that card is.
