Good luck with the SS Sean....

[Rich Klein]

Rich

For me, I love getting even junk unopened baseball packs to open -- obviously better packs or boxes are really liked.

Nothing is more fun than busting wax and that even includes blaster boxes from places such as Wally World or Target,.

Also, I'm fine with any pre-70 cards, certified autographs or relic cards from licensed major manufacturers. Condition not an issue in pre-70 -- can even be well loved

Hello, Sean. Keith here. Count me in.

[Eric72]

OK, I'm in. I will PM my "interests" to you.

Best regards,

Eric

[gnaz01]

Of course, I'm in! Will send my info over later today.

[Sean1125]

My inbox was full... I cleared it out.

[Sean1125]

[milkit1]

I am in! Come on people lets gets a big number doing this! In the spirit of a typical Brennan household holiday, I am throwing in something really creepy that is deadball related

[uyu906]

[ibuysportsephemera]

I really only have sports paper items (everything but cards). I have books, pubs, photos, some 1950's and 1960's beater cards and lots more but no tobacco (and I honestly don't think that I will start to collect anytime soon).

Is there a place for me?

Thanks,

Jeff

I do not think anyone should be worried about what they can give, I will do my best to match with someone similar and I believe and hope everyone will be happy.

[DerekMichael]

That is an awesome idea Sean. We are in.

If I choose to participate, can I receive an exemption to this requirement? Reason is because I'm cheap, and I'd like to get more out of this than I put into it. To that end I would naturally want the person assigned to buy me a gift to be held to the $25 minimum rule despite my seeking a waiver from it.



(Just kidding. A little post-season jocularity never hurts. )

I'll waive the minimum to $12.50 if you send out two gifts.

[Rich Klein]

To put this thread back on the front page. We have significantly less people invovled thank Blowout (I'm not in that one); CU (Am in that one -- already pulled out gifts) amd Beckett (Am in that one, alread pulled out gifts)

C'mon lets show Net 54 has the most generious users.

CU got 40 people in such a short time it is insane. I thought net54 had a lot more active participants.

[brianp-beme]

Why of course I'm in...have been waiting until I had time to conjure my want and give list, but will send that info this weekend. I enjoyed participating last year. I think following Thanksgiving we should see more people getting into the mood.

Brian

[Rich Klein]

Just so popular. Everyone lives vicariously in that one. And it has really become a CU tradition. I agree though 40 people in barely a week was insane.

[kamikidEFFL]

i love to join this....great way to get involved with the community. PM coming

[kamikidEFFL]

never heard back wondering if everything is ok

[Sean1125]

Updating everything right now.

[kamikidEFFL]

Great to hear. I am so excited to join this.

[kamikidEFFL]

The one thing I'd recommend doing is closing this earlier so that we can find something they will like n have a lil more time. But that's my own opinion I've done these before held my own n usually more time to find something is better.

[Rich Klein]

And allow 10 days to buy and receive items (including for most of us the T-Day break) with items to be shipped by December 8th to allow for xmas delivery.

Make Sense?

[kamikidEFFL]

I'm ready to see who I have can't wait.

[Sean1125]

Cool, looking forward to it!

Jeff

[Sean1125]

Everyone should have their santa... If not or any questions please message me!

[kamikidEFFL]

Mine will go out Wednesday

[Rich Klein]

about an hour ago. Mixed bag of cards from my victims years and teams.

[kamikidEFFL]

Mine is all set just waiting for it to come in. I really hope I got this guy something he will def like cuz i know i sure would

[Bwstew]

I hope my gift is enjoyed to! Kinda worried! I would enjoy for sure. Hope he will also!

[kamikidEFFL]

my SS package is going out tomorrow morning. Hope i made someones xmas better

[milkit1]

Yeah I'm a little worfied cause what my guy collects isn't what I collected so I got together everything I had that was close to what he wanted. Hope there is something in there he likes

[bn2cardz]

I obviously don't know who got me, but the person who got me shouldn't worry about it so much. I am very eclectic with my collection and it was hard for me to say my collecting focus, because I am not focused. I categorize myself a type collector because it is the closest to the truth. I have tried some sets but never stuck to one. I have autographs and other memorabila in my collection as well.

I think as long as you put thought into your gift you are in the spirit of the giving and that is all that matters.

[Sean1125]

Guys, try not to worry too much about what is being sent. This is more so the spirit of giving where some people may get something they can trade later for stuff they want and some guys will get exactly what they wanted. I am helping someone out on a gift and will have it out within the next couple days.
