Santa package sent today, expected arrival of 12/16...

[brianp-beme]

Surprisingly the mail carrier delivered my gift via the chimney, perhaps because the package just seemed like it was from Santa.

Confirming my SS has delivered my bomb-proof black duct tape box.
(Note: you may wanna use clear tape next time, i bet it raised some eyebrows at the PO)

PM member SMPEP and see if he received a tracking # from the member that was supposed to send you something. With any luck it is a postal problem.

If it is deadbeat like there seems to be everytime we have done this PM me what you collect and your address. I will send you something like I have done for others in the past.

[uyu906]

Thanks Ben -

I PM'd Patrick and will wait to see what he says. Your offer is very generous, and I hope this is just a delay or misunderstanding.

Thanks,
Rich

[chalupacollects]

Santa stopped by today on his trial run!

[GrayGhost]

I sadly missed the deadline as I would have loved to be involved on both ends, esp TY.

That said I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE GETS!!!🎁

[Eric72]

My Secret Santa delivered!

Along with a T206 Bill Bergen, I received a handful of Hall of Famers and Phillies cards. THANK YOU, Santa.

Happy holidays, everyone.

[milkit1]

I received a pretty great xmas gift! Thanks Santa!

So, I played a bit of a trick on my Secret Santa - I didn't want him to know I was his match, so I had him send his package to my wife's dog.

And the dog did GREAT!!! Santa delivered a paid of 1933 Goudey cards and an autograph of Charlie Gehringer! (Such neat handwriting - I can assure you mine does not look anywhere close to this good!)

Thanks Santa!!!

from "Dennis"

[SMPEP]

And we had one late entry to the Secret Santa exchange and if you join after the deadline - Sorry you get struck with me.

So my other dog also got a present this year (which is great that they both got presents).

Santa send a pair of Lighthouse cards - which finishes the set - and adds a great looking card from the fun 1951 Bowman Jets, rockets and spacemen set.
Great cards!

Thanks Santa!!

From "Danny"

[mattsey9]

Thanks, Santa! Got my first E90-1 card, and an autographed ball from Cubs legend Ferguson Jenkins. Very nice!

Any update?

Great stuff posted so far, Happy Holidays everyone!

[SMPEP]

Hi Ben and Rich (and others),

Assuming I did not make a mistake and accidentally send out a wrong name (which is not an impossibility I suppose) ... the person responsible for sending to Rich posted to this thread that they sent the item on time. I do not think that person sent the package using a tracking number. I am working to track this down, but I suspect the sender is out of town and I'm not sure if he is checking the board or not - so it may be a few days.

Sorry for the glitch Rich, but we'll work to fix this!!!
Patrick

Big shout out to my Secret Santa from Omaha. You spoiled me!. Have actually played the course in Forest South and love the Billy Herman Goudy insert. Can’t beat Santo and Banks for a diehard Cub fan. Have met Santo on several occasions and Met Ernie once and know Joey Banks from Cubs camp. Thanks so much.

[pawpawdiv9]

My SS (from MA) did a WOW!!!
Some of these pics i never seen before.

[icurnmedic]

Amazing gift! Thanks Santa 🎅

[Rich Klein]

I'm not\at home and have limited time but I've been out all day at my in-laws and if I'm the Rich mentioned-- my gift arrived safely and I'll post details when I get home. Rest assured the SS was wonderful And I know the package I sent was received but I can always send another one if needed.

[Nunzio11]

Thank you to my Not so Secret Santa! Some really cool Jeter and Ripken oddballs and rookies. Joe Cronin butterfinger and a 60s hockey auto. The Loyola College Card was a great throw in, I live 5 minutes from campus and drive by everyday on the way to work. Thanks Mike and Merry Christmas to all.

[milkit1]

Well I'll be dogged!
Glad he like the items lol
Loved getting a Hal Chase card and a M101-4

My Secret Santa came through with flying colors...I have been slowly collecting the 1941 Goudey set. My goal is 28 cards (which is minus the 5 short-prints). With these colorful beauties I am now officially halfway to my goal. And a surprise second part came as well and now I own a T3 with a Turkey Red back, which had eluded me until now. And in much loved condition, which is somewhat a specialty of mine.

Thanks Secret Santa(s)!

Brian

[GrayGhost]

Great variety of cool stuff all!

[TUM301]

Thanks very much to my secret Santa, great items and collection additions for an avid BoSox fan like me. Awesome shots of Sox HOF`ers and an added bonus item of "The Cathedral Of Boston" America`s most beloved ballpark, Fenway. Hope all 54`ers have a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year !

[Rich Klein]

I promised I would post the something special about the Secret Santa gift I received. I did cheat slightly and open this on XMas eve since I knew I'd be gone from about 7 to 6 today.

The card sent was wonderful and will have a great home!

I hope this package finds you, and more importantly Dena, happy and in good health....

P.S. I know with medical bills and the like there probably isn't a ton of extra card money right now. I have sent you a couple of bucks to compensate for what you might have sent on someone else.

To me that was even more special than the gift because of the time the person spent to make everything more personal.

[ShoelessBob]

I received some great gifts from my secret Santa. An awesome t206 LeifIeld. I think this card has some of the most beautiful colors of all the T206 cards. Simply a cool card. I also received a card of Cobb and Wagner and some other terrific Pittsburgh cards. Thank you Secret Santa

[slightlyrounded]

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. That said, I've been looking at these same 2 pages in his pictorial biography for years thinking 'I'd love to chase these':



As of Christmas morning I have some momentum to get me going:



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.

[nebboy]

My SS was in a great giving mood. Thank you soooo much.
