ArnyVee · December 19, 2005 9:55AM

Mine goes out in the morning....all packaged up and ready to go!

jerster · December 19, 2005 11:33AM

Mine went out today!

MrMoo · December 19, 2005 12:42PM

Sent it out Friday or so.

zef204 · December 19, 2005 1:10PM

Sending out tomorrow, are we supposed to reveal ourselves in there?

That sounded bad, but I think you know what I mean.

MajorDanby · December 19, 2005 2:27PM

my 1986 Topps mike krukow graded a 4 by PRO was sent a few days ago. hope whoever gets it realizes that its the thought that counts....

Ironmanfan · December 19, 2005 9:09PM

I didn't think that PRO even had a 4 on their computer keyboard

larryallen73 · December 19, 2005 9:44PM

I sent mine out yesterday. Feeling sort of stupid though as I revealed myself and as I thought about it this morning I don't think you are supposed to. Not very "secret." Oooppss.... Hope my person enjoys the gift nonetheless.

jerster · December 19, 2005 11:01PM

No problem saying who its from. Mine will know.

ChicagoGlen · December 19, 2005 11:05PM

I am sending mine today. I just wish it was something the person collected. I was gone over the weekend but I don't think it would of been enough time to pick something up. I am sending something that might just make the receiver want to start a new set or they can ebay them and get something they really wanted. Anyway they are psa graded and should be a nice surprise.

Happy Holidays!!!!

Glen

Stingray · December 19, 2005 11:07PM

Wait until Christmas! Received mine today from a fellow Michigander??

Stingray

zef204 · December 22, 2005 9:50AM

I wrote who it was from on the box. I thought it was OK to reveal our identity. Oh well, I hope you enjoy!

Onlypsahockey · December 24, 2005 2:42AM

Isn't it customary to open one present on Christmas Eve????

Seriously, I hope everyone received their packages for Christmas.

To all my fellow board members...Happy Holidays! Bob C.

Ho Ho Ho. Hope this message finds all of you happy and healthy!

Sounds like most of the folks received their packages for opening today. If not, I'm sure they will come in a day or so - so your holiday and anticipation gets extended you lucky dogs!

Anyway - I must send out major props and thanks to my man David - aka Packman - for brightening up my Xmas morning with the gems below. Any expectations I had were exceeded to say the least!

Thanks, all of you, for playing. Special thanks again to David who just made my xmas list next year

Post some pics people...

Happy Holidays,
Jerry

QUIK · December 25, 2005 6:56AM

Hey all i just opened my 1989 Aikman gem 10 THANKS TO MY SANTA AND TO ALL !! JEFF

wick70 · December 26, 2005 1:46AM

Thanks, Santa !! I received (6) graded 1971 Topps Hockey cards. All were PSA 8's. My wife is going to kill me for continuing to complete this set. Oh, Well !!

Thanks a bunch and Cheers!
Wick

I assume eventually we will reveal ourselves ?? Our identities, that is.

larryallen73 · December 26, 2005 7:27AM

Mine must be still be in the mail from my Secret Santa.

Julen- Did you get anything good in the 1980 packs? I have not opened mine yet. If you get a Henderson that looks like a 10 maybe you shouldn't tell me!

QUIK · December 26, 2005 9:10AM

Larry Allen,
Don't know why your gift hasn't shown up. I know you haven't been too naughty this year, Santa would never let you down. Fed Ex on the other hand might. It's on it's way...should have arrived Friday.
Your Secret Santa

Stingray · December 26, 2005 7:43PM

Thanks Jerster,

No scans, but a nice PSA 9 1970s Kellogs 3D Kaline and a 1978 Burger King Jack Morris PSA 8.

Stingray

ChicagoGlen · December 26, 2005 9:31PM

Thanks Santa! I received 2 White Sox World Series Game one ticket stubs. They were placed nicely in a frame. As a life long South Side Sox fan they will be either graded and displayed or displayed in the frame for years to come.

Thank you,

Glen

julen23 · December 27, 2005 12:57AM

glen, that is pretty sweet.

no that's what secret santa is all about..

Julen

larryallen73 · December 27, 2005 4:02AM

I just received my package via FedEx (thank you very much!) as I had given my office address. A nice way to brighten my day! Inside were two very cool cards which I did not already have:
1) 1940 Play Ball John McGraw PSA 5
2) T206 Hal Chase PSA 3.

Thank you very much Quik! That is really cool of you! I feel as if my 4 packs of 1980 cards to Julen were inadequate! I will do better next year!

Thanks again to Jerster for organizing.

Happy new year to all.
