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.

Dboneesq · January 28, 2017 4:08PM

Not even in it and can't wait for Tuesday. I hope everyone is happy with their gift!!!! Hopefully you guys post your new cards on Tuesday.

I might have to rip at midnight tonight rather than waiting till I wake up in the morning...

pjb103183 · January 30, 2017 6:31PM

Big shout out to my Secret Santa! I was blown away by the '59 Aaron as that card has been on my radar for quite a while and such a great example!

1957Braves · January 31, 2017 3:32PM

Opening Day!!!

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.

Thank you Santa. Lots of great items.

ugaskidawg · January 31, 2017 3:35PM

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...

cpettimd · January 31, 2017 4:11PM

I received a sweet pair of O Pee Chee PSA Clemente cards - upgrades for my master set. Thanks!

OddRodz · January 31, 2017 5:06PM

This thread is the epitome of all that is right in message board coolness.

yankeesman · January 31, 2017 6:19PM

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:

Downtown1974 · January 31, 2017 6:50PM

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!!!

SpinFadeSplash23 · January 31, 2017 8:43PM

Great addition to my 1951 Ringside set and my recent addiction to Horrors of War. Thanks again, Secret Santa. You hit a homerun!

flatfoot816 · February 2, 2017 6:20AM

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

totallyradd · February 2, 2017 10:41AM

I knew I shoulda been part of this, but replacing a water heater and a major car repair kept me out. Great job everyone!!!

SpinFadeSplash23 · February 3, 2017 9:59AM

I just want to say thanks again to everyone who participated, but especially ugaskidawg for pulling it all together. Much appreciated!

ugaskidawg · February 3, 2017 11:54AM

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.

Frozencaribou · February 7, 2017 7:27PM

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.

-Nathanael

Dboneesq · February 7, 2017 11:11PM

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.

ugaskidawg · February 8, 2017 7:32AM

Going back and rereading this thread is awesome. Such great items! I noticed that pjb's pics never came up, so I am reposting his items so we can see his sweet haul!
