My Secret Santa got me this:

But wait ——— somebody has a humerus prankster side to them. Of course I have never had a pack of cards in my hands that I didn’t want to rip open right away! And to my surprise inside of each 1990 UD pack was a special insert from my favorite team. Nice job of resealing those packs. I tip my Santa cap to my SS for the ingenuity and generosity.

Greatly appreciate the thought/work put into my gift from Secret Santa. I'm building a binder with each page being its own theme. Santa was able to hit on something I hadn't considered, that being the incredibly talented athletes the sports world lost in 2024. This will go great with my collection, so thank you very much. Also, a great reminder we only get to celebrate Christmas so many times, so hopefully everyone is enjoying the day with friends and family!
Thanks again Rich for making this happen!

A huge thanks to my secret Santa who took the time to peruse my website and find multiple items for my collection!


First, Santa sends a 2004 game used bat relic card of Lou Brock commemorating his HOF induction year - 1985 (also the year I started collecting cards). Lou Brock who was the first HOFer I ever got an autograph from at a card show and this is a great add to my Lou Brock player run.

Then, Santa sends a 2023 Topps 1988 style autograph of Darryl Strawberry. Strawberry was my favorite player when I first started collecting back in the mid 1980s. I am so happy Darryl has turned his life around and is now making a difference in the world through his ministry.

Next, Santa sends a nice 1953 Bowman Color of Harry "Suitcase" Simpson who came over to Cleveland from the Negro Leagues. I love the '53 Bowman Color set, but only have a few cards from it so far. This one is nice!

And finally, Santa sends a starter lot of 13 cards for the 1950 Bowman set. I plan to make progress on a couple of 1950s sets in 2025 and 1950 Bowman is at the top of that list, so these are perfect for that goal.

Thanks again to Santa and Merry Christmas to all of Net54. This site and the people on it makes card collecting truly wonderful!
