OK. Christmas is roughly a month away.....

[Brian Van Horn]

What cards are you hoping to receive by Christmas as a nice little addition to your collection. I.e., what are you collecting?

[rjackson44]

One texas tommy type card😆

[boneheadandrube]

I want a fake Mantle, where do ask for one? I don't have escrow though...

[Econteachert205]

actually hoping to get up the energy to sell some stuff to buy presents for others.

T207 Cubs with different factory backs

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Feeling a bit greedy. This weekend I was able to acquire a very nice 289 card lot of '65 Topps. So, my gift came a little early.

I heard those are quite expensive these days. Might as well go after the real thing

[KCRfan1]

I treat myself on a regular basis. We have a really nice card shop here in the KC area ( The Baseball Card Store ) and I can usually pick up some nice 50's, 60's or very early 70's in great condition. I'm a corners guy, so I look first at corners then centering. The wife travels for work, so my frequency and addiction is completely unawares........

[Laxcat]

One more Red Cobbie to round it out to 12. The backs are becoming a bit more pricey. but maybe Santa will be kind this year.

[btcarfagno]

Santa is keenly aware of just how naughty I have been this year, so it looks like that well centered 52 Topps Mantle will have to wait another year.

Santa311 on eBay said I needed to join escrow to get Mickey under my tree. Whats the best way to sign up with them and will I be spammed if I fill out thier form? Does escrow have any membership discounts? I got a t-shirt from PSA and a stack of submission papers from SGC, what free offers does escrow have to choose from?

Last I checked, escrow will send you three 1991-92 Upper Deck French hockey commons to be named later.

Robert, you're collecting the '65 Topps set? Those were my first cards as a kid. Good luck.

Sean, it's been an on again, off again relationship. I bought this very nice group of '65s in DC last December. I ended up parting with them for some reason. Anyway, I unexpectedly had a chance to reacquire them this weekend (for much less than I originally paid ) and grabbed them. So, yes, I am back to collecting '65 Topps....also working on a '56 Topps set. Happy collecting!

[mechanicalman]

Maybe not a waterfront property until next year's bonus, so potentially shopping properties on a channel or maybe a property across the street from water with deeded access. Worst case, potentially a property with a water view.

Unless, of course, a nice Green Cobb pops up on ebay and I bid 12x its market value.

[HRBAKER]

None, we're taking a ski trip.

[pawpawdiv9]

got 1 bid in, and it would be a nice present. got a best off in, and it would be a nicer present.
In the end, anything would be nice, even more catalogs or reading material.

Do 1991 French Hockey cards come with gum? Will escrow ship them in a box or padded envelope with cardboards? I would prefer Canadian Hockey cards or something with Lemiex, does their customer service take requests for these concerns? Thank you for your time in response.

I hear Mantle bells jingling already!! Oh boy oh boy!

None for me too. And we didn't get waterfront but our offer was accepted yesterday on a large project for us....so no toys this year.

[dabigyankeeman]

Every occassion I ask my wife what she wants to spend on me and then I get on Ebay and find a card. This year though I said I want a Playstation 4. However, if I get a card, it will probably be a 1947 Tip Top Break Yankee card.

[gemmint77]

Hoping to find and purchase my 1st Honus Wagner card. Looking at the 1909 E95 & 92's. Getting excited!!
