Just.....wow.
Thank you to my secret santa, who perfectly filled some holes in my hockey collection and inspired me on a new hobby goal for 2020. For background: I already have a complete run of Wayne Gretzky base cards, from '79 on, but never embarked on his all-star, record, and trophy card run because it frankly was a little daunting.

Oh, and while they were making my Christmas, they decided to throw a great looking T206 in there for fun.
Thank you - Definitely don't deserve this, but definitely appreciated.
