The OFFICIAL 2024 Blowout Secret Santa SHOWOFF THREAD

[CardChasing]

Son just opened his presents and wanted me to say thank you very much to his Santa! 3 total packages with the 1st two having a nice variety of players on his want list. Gift noted to open last had a game used Corbin Carroll patch auto which he is stoked about as we got to meet and see him play many times while he was playing minors up here in Reno and is definitely one of his favorites! Thank you Ss!

Thank you so much Secret Santa. My gift started with a gift card to Longhorn. Next was an assortment of goodies from the 2000 All Star Game held in Atlanta including a commemorative coin, lanyard with tickets and a pin, and an official ball. Last, but certainly not least, was a Freddie Freeman Topps Finest Green RC. Thank you so much for your generosity!

I really needed a pick me up this holiday season, and I am overwhelmed by your generosity. All of the cards were new to my collection except for one, (which can be a tough feat) and I couldn't be happier! Thank you for making the opening process so fun, and for the nice note as well! I have been blessed with great santas the past few years!

Here they are

lol! I am not a football guy, so not sure on the card, I am sure it is a nice one though!

That quote though is what I sent out to everyone who works for me this morning! The team loved it and it started a large discussion!

Thank you very much to my secret santa. Awesome Walker card that I didn't have Ebay GC too, but the note was a very nice surprise

[r0yals2012]

Opened mine this afternoon. Some Hosmers and a Bobby Witt gold refractor mini. I have actually never seen the Hosmer mini before! Thanks Santa!

Thunder Rosa is awesome. Saw her wrestle at a ROH payperview in Dallas back in 2018. My son thought it was too loud/sensory overload after a couple matches so he and the wife left and hung out in the Halls until the event was over. I guess during that time period Thunder Rosa went over to them and said hello and did a picture with my son.

My Secret Santa - KILLED it!

I hope they don't mind - I am going to post the letter that accompanied the gifts as it was awesome!






First off was a pack of Prizm Football - nothing of note in there.



Second was a Bergeron Rookie! Numbered to 975!!
My FIRST Bergeron Rookie!!!!









Last - CERTAINLY not least!
BIG PAPI!!!!







Thank you so much!

Just wanted to let you know we donated 278 toys, including 10 bikes to the Toys for Tots. Also because of a late generous donation we were also able to donate the following to a local Veteran's Outreach Center....
100 pair of socks
24 pair of hats and gloves
$100 in CVS gift cards.

Thank you ALL for helping make this happen

I don’t want this to ever get buried in the thread because it’s simply incredible what Jon is doing with his time and energy.

He’s a good dude. The world needs more crazy pink hair guys with giant hearts of gold.

Sorry missed the text....Here are the cards

[rpausch]

Opened my SS gift on Christmas and I apologize for getting time just now to post. I am extremely happy with the gift and added a decent amount of new cards to my Brewer collection. The package was split into two gifts.

First up: Various refractors of Yelich and a Woodruff Prizm /75



Next up: 3 Swatches and a Garrett Mitchell RD parallel.



Last part of the first package: Woodruff Chrome Rookie Auto and a Turang Leaf Draft Auto to /15



2nd Package: A Willy Adames patch to /49 (so sad to see him move on) AND a Topps Update Chrome Chrourio Variation (prefer this one over the the regular Chrome variation).



Thank you very much SS

[jlzinck]

Very nice stuff.
I have a cancer checkup tomorrow so I will start pinging people who haven't posted yet after the new year

[themboyz]

Got the last part of mine in today , Big thank you to my Secret Santa , Kershaw Bob Ross/35 and Guardians of the Galaxy auto and a Shohei Ohtani Mookie Betts Independence Day /76

[thor_rider08]

THANKS SS!!!
Add them to the stash of slabs
I do not have any Kobe tribute dunk Lebrons.. This might make me buy some 0_o

Family just left and I have a moment to post finally

[SteelPen2]

Here is what I received-





The interesting thing is I bid on the Polamalu plate when it was on ebay and was disappointed when I lost. I then thought what if my secret Santa bought it for me? Turns out, they did!! Thanks Santa!

[Skipscards]

Apologies for the delay. We have been and are still out of town. I will post pictures when we return. I will say, my Secret Santa knocked it out of the park. 🎅

I stopped collecting basketball cards years ago so I don’t know what a Kobe tribute dunk card is or which one it is, but the red one looks really awesome.
