Thanks to Secret Santa P.H.'s Orioles and MphilKing & Dboneesq

I stayed home sick from work today, and much to my surprise the mailman delivered not one but two Secret Santa packages for me from CU members, and apparently fellow Pennsylvanians who are Orioles fans, Orioles and MphilKing. Needless to say this was a great pick me up! I hurriedly opened the first package and found lots of cool stuff. Orioles sent an Earl Weaver auto'd Perez Steele Great Moments card authenticated by Jim Spence, a signed Leaf Limited Jim Palmer card, a G.U. SP Legendary Cuts card of Cal Ripken, two 1964 Topps Giant auto'd Milt Pappas & Luis Aparicio cards, and a sweet 1955 Red Man auto'd Duke Snider card authenticated by PSA/DNA(my very first one). He even took the time to wrap each gift individually in Christmas wrapping!

After regaining my composure, and taking another couple of tylenol and a short nap - remember I am sick today, I opened the second package that was from MphilKing. He sent some cool Orioles stuff as well! Including 2 Orioles postcards of my childhood hero Brooks Robinson, a 1970 Deckle Edge of Boog Powell, a 1963? Exhibit card of Steve Barber (the first Exhibit card I have ever owned), a True Value Cal Ripken 1986? card that I have never seen before, a package of 1991 Orioles Crown Team panels, six 1972 Topps that I need for the set I am working on, and a handful of 2008 A&G's.

I cannot thank you both enough! You have made my day and put a positive spin on the Secret Santa experience for me. CU is a great community for baseball card collectors!

That's really awesome Rich, thanks for sharing. Post some scans for us if you're up to it.



I did some rippin last night. Tore open 4 packs of 2008 FB UD Masterpieces that were Secret Santa gifts from DrJ. Thanks again DrJ, these cards are THE BEST. Original artwork on canvas cards, BOOYAH! I might have to post some scans later myself.

I'm very happy to hear everything worked out for you and I'm very impressed with the people here in CU forums. I think we need to have an Official thread for bad sellers & buyers and dishonest members. I'm sure it's against policy but it would be nice.

Yesterday I received a surprise package from Dboneesq - He noted how he felt bad that my original Secret Santa had not delivered. He generously included two PSA graded cards for me - a 1978 Topps #4 Record Breaker - Brooks Robinson and a 1968 Topps Game - Brooks Robinson.

Thanks Doug!

BRIAN ... if it is against policy on this board, I am sure there is a PC guru among us that can set up some type of website where each of us have access and can post the good and bad experiences we have had with other members. State either GOOD or BAD with a short explanation and the GURU can monitor each transaction and make a summary list with each members name who someone posted about and tally all the GOODS and BADS. What do all the GURUS out there think?
