Secret Santa Sign up and Dates
 

And we'll use this as our go to page to ensure everyone who signs up (I missed one last year) will get something for the holidays

You can either post here or DM me if you want to be in. The amount you spend it totally up to you as the saying goes it's the thought that counts as much as the $$$. I will need you to DM me or email me at Sabrgeek@aol.com with your address and interest (s) so to make sure you will get something.

Dates:

Let's do signups through Wednesday November 27th. I'll do the randomizer on that day or a day or so later. That gives everyone a couple of weeks to chase down gifts for their person.

Let's set the deadline for purchasing on Wednesday December 11th. That gives you 2 weeks or so to find item (s)

And gifts should be in the intended hand by Tuesday December 24th and on or around 6 PM EST we can start opening and showing what we all got

Signup Deadline: Wednesday November 27

Gift Purchase Deadline: Wednesday December 11

Gift Receive Deadline: Tuesday December 24

I'm ready! Are you?

Secret Santa 2024
 

Wanted to get this back up to the top. A lot of fun here gents. A recent Xmas, I let Rich know I was building a T206 set, my Secret Santa hooked me up with these!!!

Bumping this up.

Looking forward to starting the next part this week.

As an aside, in the new card world, my most local LCS is part of a double digit store group that does Secret Santa (mostly newer unopened) but they have a great party every year. I'm doing that for the 3rd straight year and it's always fun to hang out with card collectors old and new

Rich

Just a reminder to sign up for this fun little gift exchange...I have really enjoyed it since this became a thing many a Christmas moon ago.

Don't be a Grinch, give the gift of cards that will brighten the Christmas tree undercarriage of some hobbyist, while your undercarriage becomes laden with the gleam that only the cards from a like-minded Net54'er can bring.

Brian (to summarize...time to brighten and shine those undercarriages by signing up to this Secret Santa gift exchange, and do so by tomorrow)

I'm in
 

Count me in. This sounds like as much fun as I could have on Christmas. Don't tell my wife! ;). Email with details by tomorrow. Thanks for running this.

Cmon guys we can get more people than this
Let’s get this up to 20or more
It’s always fun

I am in, sounds fun

Definitely in
Sounds like fun

If I get Mr. Kuhr...I'm not sure I can get any of those cards ☝️☝️
: )

i'm in if not too late. will send you my details via email and facebook dm if that's ok.

thanks for doing this

TJ is a good hobby friend of mine
 

And although he missed the original deadline, if someone else wants to join in the fun the two of you can be each others Secret Santa.

i have his information ready for whomever wishes to join in

Rich

His SS gift is easy to find: check lot #1 in REA.

Mr. Kuhr also has on his list a much more accessible grouping of cards to get. He's not that expensive to buy for.

Now. if someone wants to gift me with Lot #1 on REA I promise I will send 20 percent of all proceeds from that card to the non profit of my choice :) LOL

Rich

Thank you Rich.
I’ll be a good gift giver :)

TY Filip
 

We got TJ a Secret Santa gift partner. We always have room for more. As long as I/we can get 2 people to join we can add you to this fun event!

Rich

Funny but I also enjoy oddities like these
One has Paula Abdul in background
One has Drake in background
One has Mendez brother in Background
One has George Bush in Backgorund.
I also have the Billy Ripken Fuck Face Card just could not find picture
Sorry 1 did not upload

Just not part of my “collection” just part of my fun stuff

But to be transparent If someone gifted that I would humbly accept it

One has Drake in background

Which card has Drake in the background? I will add that to the COMC data base thereof.

Rich

That is the one I trade and was unable to upload after many attempts and even copying the picture

It is the 2016 Pannini Dunross Optic Paul George Card

Checked the Data Base, both the Paul George and the Paula Abdul cards were already note.

Rich

If you still need one person to make a pair count me in…

Thanks Tim! We now need at least one more
 

To pair up with Tim. And make the "unofficial" goal of 20 people participating.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Rich

Bump to see if we can got one final match or two
 

Looking for another person or few to include as we approach deadlne time

Still looking for a last minute match
 

AND

If you have already shipped out your gift, I (we) thank you and please let me know so I can keep track of that part of the puzzle as well

Thanks on both accounts!

Rich

Hi Rich

Thanks for doing the coordination.
I shipped mine and the UPS trackers says it will be delivered tomorrow

I have plans sending ss gifts Wednesday

I’ve shipped out a medium flat rate package on the 5th.

Hope your SS is good to all of you. Always fun to be a part of this tradition.

Mine shipped out today!

Items Sent --Rich i sent you the tracking #'s
FYI- postal lines are slammed at the post office.

shipped mine via ups ground on Dec 6 to help avoid the holiday package traffic.

Secret Santa arrived at my home today.

Package sent out on Wednesday. Secret Santa has already arrived at my house.

Sending mine out today Rich

Mine is going out tomorrow, thanks!

Received mine today. Keeping it closed till Dec 24? CHALLENGE :p

Mine was shipped, delivered on Dec 12!

Mine went out today for an in time arrival! Should I have put shipping insurance on the REA lot we were talking about?

Nah the postal people will find it and pocket it for their nefarious means ;)

I remember the great Dan McKee post on this board to never add additional insurance to packages lest they go missing.

Shipped priority today and have received my SS package.

hi rich,

let me know if you would like me to setup a Tuesday December 24th (around 6pm set) microsoft teams meetings for those available.

That would be great and we also should ensure that gets posted here. And for those who don't want to show their faces, just showing what you received is perfectly fine as well during that chat.

And obviously posting here is always good as well

That sounds amazing! Great idea and fun way to gather the community
