My Santa was 5 for 5 in sending cards I didn't have for my 78 BB set, all PSA-9's! It will get me very close to 50% complete. How he knew what cards I needed, I don't know because I don't recall telling Matt which set on the registry is mine. Thanks you jolly old fat guy in the big red suit!!
<< <i>Doug- I am glad you like your gifts. I wasn't totally sure about the Albert and Conerly...but I figured you wouldn't have the Fortmann matchbook.
Thanks "Perkie" Claus. Paul gave me some Mistlle "Toe" for Christmas. Lou "The Toe" that is. >>
Thanks a lot for the gifts! Is the Fortmann matchbook a 1933 Diamond?

I really like the matchbooks..a great piece of vintage football nostalgia..and still affordable. Most commons usually sell for 15-25, with less collected HOFer's 25-50, and more collected 50-150. I have a Baugh as well. Many of the early HOFer's don't have cards, but they have matchbooks. I believe the Fortmann is a 1936 Diamond.
There must be some more out there. The items that I sent are still not seen here, but I know that the receiver has them. Nothing big, just a buch of PSA 10s, many 1 of 1.
got my secret Santa gift yesterday--an unopened 2006 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects box!. Wrapped in Christmas paper and included a very nice note.
Never participated in this type of thing before, and it showed(hope I did not disappoint my partner). Wish I had put more thought into this...and yes I will next year.
Excellent idea...I look forward, God willing--to next year.
Thanks Matt, the best part of it was the involvement of CDsNuts, Lee. He had one of the cards for sale, and after I paid for it and mentioned that it was for the Secret Santa exchange he returned my $$, as he said, "it is for a good cause". For his generosity I sent him a "gift" also, a 1981 Topps, Larry Bird, PSA 9. All this from a person that wasn't even involved in the exchange. This is what it is about!!

Exactly. This is the reason I like this board so much. I hope my recipient likes the cards I sent him.
Sorry guys...been sick the last couple of days. Exhaustion after all the driving and crap. Here's what my Santa sent. I gotta be honest...these are some awesome cards! I opened them infront of my family and they were like, you collect cards?! I was like, "FOR THE LOVE OF PETE....SINCE I WAS LIKE 7!" So, I guess that's all I'm getting next year. Anywho...here they are! Thanks Santa, you did an outstanding job!!!!
Got my gift and must say I love the cards I got. Two Koufax cards among others. And baseketball HOF's Jerry West and Elgin Baylor (who I see crying each time we use our Clipper season tickets). Thanks Secret Santa. This was well worth the wait!!

Seems like I might have been a bit slow to post my scan of what I recieved. All 4 cards are very appreciated. I will be noting, in the comments section of my Seau Master Set Registy, where these cards came from. Thank you SantaHoop,

And to top it all off I was also sent an auto'd 8x10 of Mattingly!
Thanks for the great gift!
