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.
Asked for unopened and my SS delivered!!! Amazing gifts, included:
1978 Topps Baseball Rack Pack
1979 Topps Baseball Rack Pack (FASC)
1985 Topps Football Cello Pack-Elway Top PSA 9
1984 Topps Baseball Cello Pack-Mattingly Top
I'll probably be holding on to these for now (may try to get the Mattingly pack graded), but a huge thank you again to my Secret Santa as these are all beautiful additions to my collection!!
A shortened version of my wishlist (noting not everything needed to be filled)
Jordy Nelson rookie
Any Brewers, Bucks, Packers, Badgers items
A modest box/pack for ripping
An on card auto of HOF or HOF-level player in basketball, baseball, or football.
A completely random item,
Box
Items even wrapped!!
First item. Paul Molitor auto ball w/inscription. I don't have a single signed Paulie ball
Requested Jordy rookie and some bonus Packers items:
Big O auto!!!
1998-99 Chrome basketball box. This is the ripper. I'll post picks of the fallout.
A great assortment of racks with stars on top. Will have to save those.
Loving the posts so far! I might be the only one who definitely knows his secret gift giver, but a public thanks goes out to him! He delivered. I wrote down that I was looking for unopened, yaz items and dealers choice items. Well, it went great! I think my favorite by far is the 1970 OPC Yaz. The 1970 Topps set is super special to me. I have a PSA 9 in the Topps version. This is a perfect complement to that card.
Then this was completely unexpected and never would I have thought I would find a cool item like this one...
Collecting Clemente master (#6) and basic PSA registry sets, Hank Aaron master and basic sets, Mantle oddball issues, 1970's mega decade HOFs, 1967 Topps pin ups, and high grade Topps Clemente and Aaron. Numerous transactions with over 100 board members.
My Secret Santa knocked it out of the park as well! A big thanks and heartfelt appreciation for the time and e He hit every nook and cranny of my collecting wish list. I collect catchers primarily but recently started collecting autographs of all the Topps Rookie Cup winners on their card with the cup on it. Here's what Santa sent my way:
Man, great stuff guys! Very generous of all of you.
Ugaskidawg- that 5 oz. buffalo round is quite the topping to a great assortment of cards! Love it!!!
The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
I just want to say thanks again to everyone who participated, but especially ugaskidawg for pulling it all together. Much appreciated!

Thanks Joe. It was fun to put it together and I am so glad everyone had a good time doing it. Looking forward to the next time we do it! I will gladly take the reins again to get it going.
I want to apologize for not posting until now. No excuses. My gift exchange partner was incredibly generous. I had hoped for a few packs of 1987 Topps but was amazed to see the diverse packs of 80's baseball and football. Splendid!
Also, the Henri Richard is a wonderful addition to my collection. Thank you so much.
I always like participating in these gift exchanges. I hope we continue to do these over the holidays.
WOW! Kudos to all those who sent the amazing gifts. I hope all the recipients are happy with what they received. GREAT JOB to all involved.
STAY HEALTHY!

I didn't peek. I only opened it to see if it contained an unopened '71 baseball case, which it did. Then I stopped looking.

good morning--thanks to my SS--everyone should participate next year!!
I also got a 2015 Brady in PSA-10. Ripped the 81 cellos and got a Fernando!!!!! Sadly--it's about a PSA-5. fun nonetheless
I knew I shoulda been part of this, but replacing a water heater and a major car repair kept me out. Great job everyone!!!
