Secret Santa 2022

[Rich Klein]

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.

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.

Such a fun thing to do, both receiving a gift and finding one for someone. I'm in again 👍. Will send info shortly. Thank you for heading up Rich! 🎄 🎁

I'm in for the first time this year. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for organizing this Rich!

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.

My Secret Santa sent a great package of several dead ball era goodies including a couple of autographs, a newspaper box score from a Tigers vs. Yankees game with Cobb (2 HR's that game), Ruth, and Gehrig all playing, a team photo clipping of the 1916 Boston Red Sox with Ruth front and center, and a Zeenut card of Cutshaw which is only the second ever Zeenut I've owned. When I get my man cave room back, these will all go on display on one of my shelves for me to enjoy and share year round.



This made my Christmas day for sure! Thanks Santa! And special thanks to Rich Klein for coordinating this event!

My SS sent a nice auto card of his sons football playing days for the Cheifs. A nice type card from a minor league set. 1980 test set Bench oversize card and some reprints of of pre-war sets. Thanks you SS and to all have a great Holliday.

Santa added a couple of really nice cards to my fledgling 1958 Topps set, and arranged to have Terry Cashman's "Talking Baseball" playing while I unwrapped Willie, Mickey, and the Duke. Very clever, and greatly appreciated. Thanks, Santa!

Happy holidays to all!

A gift passed down to my 11yo son to open. Getting him to ditch his modern and embrace vintage...👍

Great gift...been begging for a nice 1958#418 on BST for a few months and no takers...finally got one last week. Congrats on your nice 58s!

[Rich Klein]

From visiting the wife's relatives and it made me feel so good to see all the wonderful gifts given and received. And next year, with a couple of the lessons I learned this year, will be even better for all concerned.

Thank you to my secret santa, he sent more autographs then i can ever imagined. Will post some pics later

[GoCubsGo32]

Wow! I absolutely loved my SS gifts!


Got some great 1960 Topps & 1955 Bowman that I need for my sets
1993 Florida Marlins RCs & pin goes great with my FL Marlins collection
(x3)1988 & (x3)1989 Topps packs that I had a lot fun ripping on Christmas morning & saved a few.
An awesome surprise of a '69 Ernie Banks & '59 Gil Hodges Topps cards! Both new to my vintage card collection.



Thank you so much!!
