I opened my Secret Santa gift this morning and was very happy with it!
My Santa sent me three awesome Rookers, including a Red Ink Heritage auto which I’ve been wanting for a long time!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
(Jon will post the picture for me!)

Opened mine this afternoon!
Some delicious m and ms. Love pb m and ms and my parents love the peanut ones. Will be sharing with them

A Wind Surge Santa Hat which I don’t have. I have a Chiefs and Royals one but not a Wind Surge one. If we have a Christmas in July promo again it will for sure get used

And a package that said open in order
#1 A Harrison Butker Auto /60! Love it! My niece might try to steal it because it’s pink haha

Then a $25 eBay gift card

And lastly, a Salvy Perez auto /50 from 2019 Finest! I have not ever seen this one before! Thanks Santa!

Well I actually made it until Christmas for the first time ever I believe! My SS was an absolute creative genius with this one! I listed a variety of outs such as the obvious for me (Twins, 49ers, Bob Dylan), but also if they just wanted to get something for my kids instead (Hot Wheels, princesses). We'll start with the card, and wouldn't you know, I got the same SS as last year!

A 49ers Hot Wheel car paired with a Twins princess was something the kids loved! A nice Twins sweatshirt that actually fits me perfectly will be used a lot in the MN winter. The 2 cards included are instant PC favorites. Buxton is numbered to 15! And the Willis rookie auto is a top 5 favorite 49er card of mine already, can't believe I didn't have an auto of him before that.

And the final artwork is going up in my Dylan room that I'll be working on soon. A Charlie Brown Bob Dylan?! Are you kidding me?? The Soy Bomb reference is a Dylan thing that gave me a good laugh. I was absolutely floored by the creativeness, thank you so much!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Made it to the big day before I opened my SS gift...

Here's my wish list...Cleveland Browns/Indians cards and decor, 90s Ken Griffey Jr. cards

My SS nailed it!

Check these out....hope the photos work...

A bunch of Cleveland cards (which I heavily collect) along with some Cleveland stickers that I can put in my office...

Not to mention... a huge Browns flag which I love! This will be proudly displayed in my office.

Last, but not least.. a really cool PSA Griffey card that I don't have! This will go straight into my collection, super cool and very much appreciated.

You did very well, SS! Thank you for your outstanding efforts this holiday season.

Hope everyone had a very good Christmas and a happy New Year's!

After traveling for the holidays, took a day off today to hit the reset button as well as take care of some things before heading back to work. Just sat down to open up my secret santa gift.

I had made a note for my secret santa that I was focusing on my Bruins PC the most as of late and he definitely went Bruins heavy But of course I am opening this during the Bruins game watching an OT loss to Calgary to extend our loss streak to 6

Can never go wrong with some nice Pasta inserts and vet relics


Next up showing my Pats a little love with some blast from the past autos of Ridley, Vereen and Spikes. Oh and a cheeky little Mr. MVP Drake Maye Rookie



And the main part of the package was the two autos of Willie O'Ree and Jeremy Swayman. But I could not leave out the beautiful OPC Platinum Seismic Gold /50 of Mr. Patrice Bergeron. I have been secretly behind the scenes working on a seismic gold master set of all the Bruins and I did not have this one. Not sure if I should be happy or scared and double checking make sure I am locking my doors at night because you nailed it with just that one card.



Thank you Mr. Santa!

My SS nailed it. I didn't have the Stautner. I have a Ham RC but this is an upgrade. Thanks so much! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Thank you, Secret Santa! First up was a stocking overloaded with treats. Next was a Chris Bosh auto/patch. Then a 2025 Revolution Mega Box. Didn't pull anything of note, but was still a fun break to do with my wife.

My apologies to my SS. I missed one package wrapped in white sitting on top of a white card box of course! Thanks for another card for the PC!

I ate all of the candy within 2 days.... I have no shame.
I opened this Equionx /30 on Christmas which will fit right in with my Obsidian obsession.
There was also a blaster box of Select which did not yield anything other than the joy of cracking wax.. which I don't do bc it normally causes depression ahah!

Thank you very much! Merry Christmas & Happy New Years!

I got into a Secret Santa on a FB group.

I sent a message to the guy running it and he reached out to the guy who was to send to me. Guy said he was so sorry, blah, blah, blah and would get it right out to me.

Still nothing.

Sorry about being late. I was under the weather last week and just got around to taking pics. I opened these on Christmas and am excited to add everything to my PC. Thank you Santa!
