Received mine, but have to wait a bit to open. Thanks SS!

Got mine today and it’s under the tree

Athey49 · 12-06-2024, 08:35 AM

Got mine yesterday and will most certainly be opening soon. 6 different packages so my kids are going to have some fun!

Braswell10 · 12-07-2024, 03:24 PM

I received my gift today! I’ll be (trying) to hold onto it until Christmas, but thank you in advance!

CardChasing · 12-09-2024, 05:30 PM

Got the package for my son today. He WILL wait until Christmas Eve to open it since that is what I have made him do the last 2 years. Thanks in advance Santa! I'm sure he'll love whatever he gets.

Skipscards · 12-09-2024, 05:30 PM

I have received my gift. Thank you Santa. I will open soon and post pictures.

rpausch · 12-11-2024, 05:10 PM

Received mine today. Going to try and hold off till next friday.

Athey49 · 12-15-2024, 10:40 PM

I really hope the pictures turn up clear as I'm having issues so if someone could let me know I'd appreciate it.

Secret Santa killed it this year!! They really did their homework as my first gift is a 9er RPA with references to Bob Dylan, the Twins, and my favorite beer! Also got a nice Royce card and 2 tree decorations (the kids loved these!).

Every year just for the hell of it I list "Anything Bob Dylan" under my request, never expecting anything as it's such a vague request. So I was super excited to get 2 Garbage Pail Dylan Cards!

And the last package contained a Steve Young auto #2/5!! Seriously, I would have been floored without the last card. I honestly think I'll get more joy this year watching my 4 and 3 year olds showing off their new ornaments than anything else. You killed it SS, thank you very much!!

Thanks SS!

There were 2 bags of popcorn....... but I ate the extra cheese white cheddar on the way home 0_o
The Old Bay Caramel Popcorn is PHENOMENAL!
The cards will live in the Christmas tree until Christmas day.... unless it dies before then!

Merry Christmas!

No tree this year but I've had mine in hand for at least a week.

My hope is to get a video recorded of me opening it, a tradition I've held for years on my YouTube channel even though I hardly post on it anymore.

Happy holidaze everyone!
