Anyone familiar with Javy Lopez's auto?

I found this in one of the many boxes of junk in my closet.

I do not believe it was pack issued, I think whoever I bought all this junk from at some time in the past must have gotten in person.

Can anyone tell me if it is at least legit?

thanks in advance.

    Someone else may chime in but I don't believe they were. I got to be familiar with Lopez's autograph when he played for the Orioles

    I think it may have been a Treat issued item...

    This is correct
  • I think those were issued at Wal-mart in a Braves team set!
  • Real. I got the same card with the Treat COA.Looks nearly identical. Even with COA it is worth like $1 on ebay.

    I - also - have it - with the Treat COA.

    Mine is similar - but the auto is a bit different - which I would say - then - it's not an autopen.

    I bought it at the Px back around 1993 - it was in a blister pack and also included John Smoltz auto (ballpoint).

    To the best of my knowledge - Treat "repacked" cards and sold them mainly in Walmart.

    For those who might remember - Treat had a major sweepstakes in 1996, where they selected one winner for the PSA 8 Honus Wagner.

    The card was won by retired postal worker Patricia Gibbs who put it up for auction and was won by Mike Gidwitz of Chicago for $641,500.

    I'm sure Treat sold a "Schmidt-Load" of crappy card "repacks" with that kind of payoff!

    Hi Jeff

    Mine wasn't a box but rather a blister and ya could see the 2 autos - since I was a Braves fan at the time - I thought it was a good buy - I think the blister was 9.99 - so I figured if the autos were real - I had a good buy - even with the crap cards.
