**** SECRET SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE ****RIPPAGE HAS STARTED***First post of this thread has updates

Ok I will throw my name in the fire.
If Sean is uncomfortable to some of you I will offer up myself to organize the Secret Santa xmas exchange.
But I start this out by saying, if I do it the first rule is benderbroeth is not eligible to participate due to last years fiasco.
Sorry but in something like this I believe in the one strike rule - no excuses.
Anybody who holds grudges I'm sorry but you should not participate
if you want a certain member to be your recipient let me know. I would do this if you had something you knew that member would really love.

RULES and Regulations: PLEASE READ THROUGH BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

Each participant will be obligated to send a “GIFT” to another participant. The “GIFT” should have a cost value of approximately $25.00 or more. The “GIFT” should be gift wrapped according to the season BEFORE it is packaged to be mailed . On the outside of the package, should be placed the words CU gift exchange. This should help people from just randomly ripping a package open. The package should be mailed on or shortly after the 1st of December in order to insure a delivery in time for the holidays. “GIFTS” should not be opened before the evening of the 24th of December. Besides the return address on the package, no identification of the sender is necessary.

“GIFTS” are limited in their nature to being sports related or at least something that PSA might grade or authenticate or of course something already graded. Non-sports related items might be appropriate based on the persons interests.
All effort will be made to match up “givers’ to “receivers” interest wise, however there are NO guarantees.

Reply to this thread if you want in and send the following information to me via pm.

**Copy the outline below and pm me a filled out version**

1. CU user name:
2. Real name:
3. Mailing Address:
4. Email address
5. Specify sports, players and teams you are interested in.
6. Specify sport or sports of what you are able to GIVE


The following is the list who have shown interest. Once I have received the personal information , the word “CONFIRMED” will be placed next to your user name on the list. The list will be finalized with an OFFICIAL CUT OFF TIME of Wednesday NOVEMBER 17th. I will then pm the name , address, and sport interest of each participant to their respective “Secret santa”. Each participant will then pm me, so I know that their “GIFT” WAS sent. The word SHIPPED will be placed on the master list.
The Master List will be updated on a regular basis. Please Please Please ship early - first class mail - especially if you are going between the US and Canada as sometimes it can go slow unless you use priority mail.

    I will send a gift to a SS, but WANT NOTHING in return, since in previous years my response has caused issues!


    I just want to help this year, and avoid all the holes that are so quick to attack!

    Whoever is running this, please let me know if this is ok?

    OK I am changing the cut off now to Wed the 17th.
    2 reasons are that it's been a day and a half since I had an inquiry and more important
    I just had a friend tell me that their Grandmother passed away and I will have a funeral at the end of the week so I want to get the emails out.

    So if you want in PM sooner than later.
