Parents are going through a hard time so I told them I don't need anything.
Friends are all in the same boat.
But my sister did give birth to my 3rd niece the other day so that is the best gift of all!
And I plan on treating myself to a Campanella signed ball I've been eying for quite sometime!

Lightly used
Hit a tree going 50 mph 2 weeks ago. I don't like Black Ice much. Now I have car payments, so the wife and I are doing anything. Horrible year at work.

Mild case of wiplash, sore left shoulder and bruised the left side of my left knee. I'll survive.
Thanks for asking,

My wife was T-boned by a young driver about 10 days ago. She's been to the doctors many times since then . It could've been horrible worse. I'm glad only a car need to be replaced.
I'll say some prayers for you and your family.---- Sonny
I got what I always get , A lump of coal.
Collecting: Topps 1952-79, Bowman 1952-55, OPC 1965-71, and Pre-War White Sox cards
It's a refurb with a full one year warranty (don't ask what we went through to make Microsoft place the warranty on it).
Wife get's a 19inch HDTV and a digital picture frame.
The boys are getting some nice things as well and can't wait to see the reactions in the morning.

The ATT repairman told me he can't fix my phone until Saturday, so I can't call my sister in California, and she can't call me
Pretty much sucks!!!
On the good side though, one of the local Hooters is open tomorrow evening, so I'll be able to go out there and watch the Chargers - Titans game on the NFL Network

<< <i>A foreclosure notice. merry christmas. >>
I truly feel for you. I do not know if others really know how well they have it.
a 2006 Red Sox Coke bottle, mini glove and regular size ball and a Red Sox clockball
I was just talking to someone about this album recently. My dad used to play this along with The Impossible Dream record (Now I gotta find that one) downstairs in his barroom when I was a kid. Great memories.
a nice display of some season tickets from a World Series that never was.
some cool odds and ends
a 1955 Red Sox schedule
this seems like one of those wall decals - it's about 3 feet long and just the car will peel off of there.
can't wait to try this out. too bad there's still a foot and half of snow on the ground
thanks for letting me share
Hope you guys all get some cool stuff too
Merry Christmas to all
<< <i>Nothing card related, but my brother got me a Blackhawks replica home jersey (the best looking sweater in the NHL, IMO
i'm a redwings fan, but that is one good looking sweater, congrats
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.

Now I'm off to see Dad!
<< <i>I got a great gift this Christmas....besides the usual cards and stuff. On Monday night my Dad had a stroke and I've been worried about him all week. Well I am happy to report he is doing well and is starting to move his right side. He still can't speak or swallow, but that's ok, he is working on it. What more can I ask for than being able to spend Christmas with my Dad?

Best wishes to your Dad having a speedy recovery. Glad to hear he's doing better
Hadn't opened up the font cover of the book:
and in between the cardboard my brother used to pack the framed tickets were these:
glad I hadn't taken the trash out yet LOL
A toolbox for my growing mass of tools and a new Carhartt jacket which i needed
My kids have disappeared however cause they each got mp3 players and PSP's . So now they
arent ever gonna come out of their bedrooms.......LOL
I'm not telling you if it was planned that way to stay out of dad's hair though...
Always looking for Chipper Jones cards.
Im a very focused collector of cards from 1909 - 2012...LOL
Even though my wife is a baseball fan, she really hasn't bought me any sports related items over the years. This year she bought me 3 very nice photos.
First one is from Steiner Sports and its an 8x10 Duke Snider photo with auto.
Second one is a 8x10 photo of Dale Sr.
Third one is from the Cooperstown Collection and is an 8x10 photo of Jackie Robinson with a certified piece of a Dodgers game used ball. It's also #80 of 500.
My wife mentioned she wished she could have gotten me more, but I told her they did very well!
Hope everyone has a blessed and safe Xmas!

A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a new blue Lightning Lecavalier jersey without telling anyone really and it came in the mail a few days ago. Well I go to open up my sister's gift this morning and inside the box is a receipt for the SAME jersey I had bought myself with a note saying "Don't go buying yourself presents before Christmas!". They ordered the SAME one on-line just a few days after I did
Merry Christmas guys!
Ted, I think you received the best of all ... still having dad around to celebrate Christmas with. Please know your dad and your entire family will be in my prayers.
Diamondman ... I can truly relate to going thru tough times ... all we can do is hang in there and hope and pray that things get better down the line. STAY TOUGH!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

<< <i>Well I got some jeans and pants, 2 new pairs of baggies (board shorts, bathing suit, swim trunks, whatever you guys call them) , a $50 ebay gift card, a promise from my dad to take me to the card shop and pick up some toploaders/cases and possibly a box, and 4th row tickets to tomorrow nights Lightning-Atlanta game. A few odds and ends here and there but that sums it up!

Goot-- The blue "bolts" jersey is really one of the nicest third jerseys in the game. I know the NHL shop has no returns on personalized stuff, but isn't the lecavilier one preprinted already and thus not personalized and returnable? Either way, congrats and good luck
I got a Kyle Orton jersey, at Matt Moulson jersey, and a John Tavares jersey. In addition, I am treating my brother to the Isles/Rangers game tomorrow night. It should be a great christmas weekend.
Merry Christmas everyone!

The Snuggie is nice...not sure about your choice in hats though! Hahahahaha! Merry Christmas from a White Sox fan.
By design, for the first time our family decided to go very low key this year for Christmas. There's one thing under the tree for me from the wife & kids, which probably won't get opened until later tonight. I'm pretty sure it's a new keyboard & mouse that has an iPhone/iPod docking station built into it, which in reality will be a family gift as we can all use it.
That doesn't mean there wasn't some nice cardboard under the tree, though. My OBC gift is still there, but I couldn't wait to open the box that Jason (five7teen) sent me. Jason's surprise gifts are always very thoughtful and very appreciated.
First up was this T206 beauty, which brings my Superbas set to 22/27. Given my recent buying spree, it's pretty cool that Jason was able to hit a rapidly shrinking list.
Next up were some awesome Dodger autographs, including a 1960 Fleer Zach Wheat!!!!!
Also included were a great assortment of Dodgers from various sets. Some highlights were a Upper Deck Masterpieces Russell Martin (love the look of these - might have to start a set), 2005 Topps Gold Andre Ethier rookie, some Brett Butlers (can never have enough of those!) and a super cool 1981 OPC Steve Garvey. I think one day I'm going to do a run of vintage OPC Dodger sets. I've only got a few, but I really like them.
Jason, thanks very much for the terrific Christmas gift.
Merry Christmas to all of you.

I got my first real drill/driver-18V Black and Decker, more than enough for a layman home owner like me. No more Versa-Pak (7.2V on a good day) for me! And a pecan pie!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Well they apparently bought it off ebay and the guy seems to have a pretty strict return policy. My brother in law thought of possibly trying the ole switcheroo and returning it to Dicks or Sports Authority and trying to get store credit for it there, then giving me the gift card that they received. Not sure it will work, but I'll leave that whole deal to him. Worst case scenario I put it up on the "bay".
At first I thought my brother in law could just have it, but then I realized that we go to games together often, which would mean we would probably be matching (that's his only Lightning jersey) most of the time haha...
Tonya got me these for my 1994 Pro Line Live auto set. I think I'm down to less than 5 cards
Tonya and I received a package in the mail from santa Trent in Canada. We got it about 3 weeks ago. It was torturing Tonya, just sitting there, so she pm'd Trent and asked him if she could open it. She even tried to use some of her womanly charm but had no luck His reply was a simple, No
Anyway, I'll post my gifts and leave Tonya post hers.
This is a very generous gift from Trent and I appreciate it greatly
He sent me a 1977 Topps Football vending box. I can't wait to rip into this.
1978 Hulk graded wax pack.
1976 Fleer Football graded wax pack.
A vancouver 2010 Winter Games coin sport card and some cool hockey stamps.
Last but not least a 1910-11 C56 Gordon Roberts RC. I've never held a card this old before. I think Trent is trying to get me hooked on vintage stuff because it is awesome! I'm getting it graded with my re-up voucher in a few weeks.
Thanks so much Paul, Tonya and Trent!

Then of course my SS gift I posted the other day and my CU SS gift. Both SS hit home runs and it is appreciated.
Overall a pretty good wind down of a year. It is not, 5-6 years ago, and I did not spend $200 on everyone like I use to...but that's all right. This last year was kinda rough (and a lot rougher on a lot of other people), but I still own my home, have all my utilities on, and there is plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I really can't complain.
Sorry to hear about your foreclosure diamondman. I hope that 2010 is better for you.
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Now I have a modern set to finish as well...............

It's not often that you can vault into the Number 1 position in any set in one fell swoop, but Geordie sent me the cards to let me do just that. I'm not clever enough to post a link to my new 1977 Topps Seattle Mariners set, but I am currently the number one finest set!
Geordie, thank you very much for the gift, I'm blown away by your kindness.
