Remember that beginning Sunday evening

Honestly, my Secret Santa giftee gets the award for the most intentional gift ever…!

Helped me knock off two more of my 1956 Topps Hall of Famers, then added a few bonus cards in Pudge & Bagwell knowing I was from Texas. Being a Rangers fan, Ivan Rodriguez was and still is my favorite player, so that was awesome!

Then, to add some extra, threw in very cool Yount & McCovey items…

Even wrote a note detailing every card, why he picked them, and printed off the TCDB for each card so I knew exactly what they were!

So thank you to my Secret Santa and the n54 community for being such a blessing to my life!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

I been so thankful for our Net54 community/members that i was able to acquire/trade some nice cards these last few months.
Hopefully i can complete my UNC Big Head set sooner than hoped for.

My Secret Santa also kicked in a nice HoF'er T206 Marquard (at thighs)
(thought it was from Donald Trump--coming all the way from NY.)

It's incredibly rare that I would be gifted THREE cards I wanted but don't have!

My interests are autographed HOF rookies and 1938 Goudey HOFers. This is such a generous gift. Thank you, secret Santa!

comes through with a 6 pack of tobacco cards including a T207, two T205s, and three Ogden's that I'm going to need to research a little more.

Thanks so much to my Net54 Secret Santa and Merry Christmas to everyone!

I just moved off of a Butler that had some issues I wasn't thrilled about, so this is perfect timing to refill that spot in my set-build (love the added character w/ signature on back)...Groom Tolstoi is a great upgrade from my current Polar Bear! Great additions to the binder!

Thank you Secret Santa 🎅 (great job!), thank you Rich for spearheading this. Great way to kick off the day.
Merry Christmas to all.

My Secret Santa supplied me with these extra nice collection additions, topped by the 1940 Play Ball of Johnny Evers, and a couple of cards from less common sets that I have enjoyed picking up examples over the years: the great Fan Craze game card set (Bob Ewing), and the quirky fun 1941 Goudey set (Whitlow Wyatt).

It is always a blast getting surprise vintage cards for Christmas...no family member or friend has ever attempted to do so, so Net54 has always filled that card vacuum quite nicely, and made the Christmas tree seem to sparkle that much more because of the anticipation. And the giving end is a fun and gratifying challenge also.

Thanks again Rich for making this happen.
