1. Dec 5th is the cutoff to enter.

2. Gifts should be sent on or before December 10th (Make sure it gets there on time!!!!!!!)

3. Gifts should be valued at $25 or greater. I will do my best to give each SS their interests for both giving and receiving.

4. When sending the gift add "N54SS" somewhere visible so it is not opened early! Please open gifts on or after the 25th.

If you would like to participate please PM me your info, it should include:

To all participating and previous participants of the Net54 Secret Santa Holiday Exchange,

All active participants in post 2 are being sent an email with their secret Santa's information. This task will be accomplished in the next 60 minutes.

If you have not received that email by tomorrow morning, check your spam folder, if you are still unable to locate please email me.

It's been fun the last six years doing the exchange, we've seen some pretty incredible generosity and a few lumps of coal along the way. Even when a gift was skipped out or there was a small issue, the members of Net54 stepped up to assist and it was inspiring and reassuring to watch as the facilitating bystander.

Due to current commitments in life and of my time I am going to have to step down from assisting in the record keeping and maintenance of the secret Santa exchange for the next year. If anyone would like to step up I will be more than delighted to show you how I do the record keeping in excel and how I match everyone to their best match.

Happy holidays everyone. May peace and blessings be with your family.

Warmest regards,

Sean Bassik

Thanks for doing all you have done, Sean. It is appreciated by a lot of members and myself.

Package sent today.

Mine will head out today (Tues). I have a dumb question, but when you guys are sending anything, are you including any kind of note? I'm assuming since this is Secret Santa, no name should be included?

Thanks

This years I just sent the cards. In the past I have included a holiday card. I have never done it but one of our great members included some chocolates in mine one year. Really no wrong way as long as it gets sent out on time.:)

Sent my item to my SS today with tracking and insurance. Enjoy! Thanks

Merry Christmas, it's been a good year. I've got a lot to br thankful for in 2017.

Opened my SS gift. It is awesome,thank you Secret Santa!:D

I believe it is a 1930 W554 of Robert "Lefty" Grove.

Thanks very much to my SS for this very nice looking T205 that will fit perfectly in my set. Happy holidays and happy collecting to all!

Awesome package from my SS. Nicely wrapped...what are the chances that you could gift someone who has been collecting for 40+ years FIVE cards and he not have a one of them. Very pleased. Merry Christmas!

I got an awesome 38 Goudey Joe Kuhel PSA 3. It's a perfect fit for my set. Thanks

Got a really nice T205 Sheckard with a Hassan back and some really interesting short news paper clippings from 1907. Interesting to see how reporting has changed through the years. Also a cool 1907 picture of Orval Overall. Thanks so much SSanta.

Okay, my SS stunned me. MANY moons ago (many years ago?) I had made a buy-it-now offer for a center panel of a T205 Collins Easily Safe so I could Frankenstein it together with the two end panels. My SS somehow remember this and sent it as my present. And sent along a British set of Sports of all Countries.

Great stuff Santa! (And what a remarkable memory you have!)

Merry Christmas to All!
Patrick

Great pack of cards from Santa.

Inside was a T213 Coupon card of Cubs star Heinie Zimmerman. My first card from that set.

Also included were these three Cubs cards from a set whose name eludes me. I saw them recently at a show where the dealer had the set for sale and liked them. Great addition to my collection of Cubs greats!

Also got three sharp 69 Topps cards for my set.

Also got a Riggs Stephenson matchbook cover card.

Much appreciated, Santa. Loved my pack of cards!

Happy Holidays to all.

Mike

SS got me 4 Red Sox vintage cards including my first American caramel.

American Caramel Elmer Smith
T206 jake stahl glove showing sweet corporal back
Diamond Stars rick Ferrell
1940 gene desautels which I need for team set

Thanks for the cards.

Would love to share the card I got, but I received nothing. Not even a lump of coal!! Here's to hoping my secret Santa shipped late. Will keep checking the mail :(
