Default Secret Santa 2022

I will be again coordinate the 2022 Secret Santa Net 54 edition. I do realize with some of the post office/UPS/Fed Ex issues we need to get everything done as quickly as possible. I have asked Leon to make this a stickie for now. Leon has graciously given us the stickie and we thank him for his courtesy

So here is the timeline I would like to use. There is some timing issues so let's get this done as quickly as possible. Shipping may still be an issue so be alert for that as well

12.2 Deadline for joining. Please either DM or email me your information and what you collect or are looking for

12.3 will be off that day so I will send out your "giftee" information on that day or 12.4.

12.18 -- Please ensure your gifts (or if you have to purchase them your gifts to be drop shipped) are ready no later than this day for delivery on or before the 24th. I will need all tracking information so this can be monitored.

Since the thought of giving is even more important than the value while I will try to match "value" I would rather you all just be thankful that you are able to give and receive to the best of your ability.

12.24 evening-12.25. OPEN Your gifts and share them with the community.

We may adjust based on your comments except for the final deadline.

Regards

In my opinion, Secret Santa should always be sticky. Like always I am in, and will send Rich my info, which he needs from all participants, to get this thing going.

Thanks Rich for once again wearing the Net54 Santa cap.

Brian

I always read about the Secret Santa on here every year, but have never taken part. I want to change that this year. I messaged Rich that I am in for the first time this year.

I think this thread got a little too sticky being stuck at the top...so I think it deserves a bump for those who have yet to get off their rump and sign up. If you fail to sign up...expect a coal lump from Santa's reindeer powered dump truck.

If you have any questions (there has been one already) please free to reach out to me

Also, PLEASE send me tracking information on any packages just so I can keep track

Thanks!

Default Update

In what is a human error, someone who would have liked to participate forgot to hit the send button. (That occurs)

So, since I doubt the post office is open right now, I have room for ONE MORE if you sign up quickly. We need an odd number to help our friend

These are always some of my favorite posts each year

Just wanted to let my SS know that I did receive my package a few days ago and forgot to mention it here. So in case you are checking tonight, I did get it and am waiting to open it until tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!

I'll start us off. My collecting interests are pre-war HOFers, oddball cards, and the Mets. My Secret Santa sent me cards that hit all of those in some way. It's a great way to start the holiday! Thank you, secret Santa!

I have long been fascinated by Amelia Earhart and her disappearance. My Secret Santa sent me a laminated page from the March 15, 1937 edition of the Altoona Mirror announcing Earhart's attempt to circumnavigate the globe.

For those who do not know, Earhart crashed early in her first 'round the world flight attempt. After her Electra 10E was repaired, she tried again three months later and disappeared. Interestingly, the newspaper depicts Captain Harry Manning, who was her navigator on the first 'round the world attempt, but was replaced by ill-fated Fred Noonan for the second attempt.

Manning lived on for nearly 40 years after Earhart's disappearance, and there has long been speculation as to why he was not on the second flight. Some historians say it was because he was unable to secure additional time off from his job. Other researchers claim Manning did not trust Earhart after she crashed on the first attempt. In the decades that followed, Manning was not complimentary of Earhart and her ability.

Thank you, Secret Santa.

My interests are T206. My secret Santa nailed it, with 3 great looking cards. Thank you! A very Merry Christmas indeed!

Very fun to participate this year, thanks Rich for putting this together!
