2021 Secret Santa Showoff thread
 

Please post here when you receive your gift and when you open it.

Thanks,

Jon

I received my gift this week. I wasn't going to open it but it popped open in the mail and I needed to make sure nothing was missing. Inside was a

2013 bowman chrome draft of carlos correa BGS 9.5

I will work on getting pics up but thanks to my santa!

I thought this was about giving, not receiving? :coffee:

I hope everyone gets something great!

Yeah, isn't that card selling right at roughly $25 or do I have a different card in mind?

I did receive mine today. I had my wife open the outer envelope to ensure what was inside was wrapped. She confirmed they were, but now she is in charge of the gifts so I am not tempted to open early.

A bunch have mailed out!!

I’m not going to wait so I’ll be opening mine when it comes and will post the results here ASAP.

But the rest of our season hasn't been as good. Congrats on the championship. Now I pray we both don't get killed in bowl games!

Got mine in today and will definitely not be strong enough to wait until Christmas

Got mine today as well, doing my best to hold off from opening it yet :D

I think everyone should just open early this year.

[QUOTE=JosieD;17835115]I think everyone should just open early this year.[/QUOTE]Others can do as they wish. I won't be doing it early as I enjoy having the extra gift to open on Christmas.

I have always opening mine early. But due to unseen circumstances. I will be spending this Christmas alone and this will be my only gift. So got to have something to open on Christmas!

I’ll be opening mine once received. I always tend to open early. And work has been kicking my butt recently so once it comes in it’ll be a nicely needed surprise

Also I like to make sure I don’t accidentally buy a second copy of something my SS got for me

That's sad to hear. Eveything alright?

I think I got mine today. Wasn’t labeled or anything but inside was a card with my username name on it and another mailer inside so under the tree it goes until Christmas Day!

I would have to take time off of work to travel for Christmas. Since I just started a new job, it did not get approved. Plus, I am also recently single. So nobody to spend Christmas with.

That’s awesome! Great cards. :)

Received my SS gift this week and just wanted to let the SS know that they did a great job with the separate packaging for my boys as well as a nice personal note for them. Obviously took some time and effort and it is well appreciated. They can't wait to start opening the gifts!

I worked late yesterday but just now eating my lunch and work and just saw the back of an envelope and it showed Blowout SS.

Lions, Zebras, and Boggs ;)

Beautiful on card immaculate Auto! Boggs Prism Zebra /99, and Legendary Cuts Jersey. Rounded off perfectly with a Drew Stanton blue refractor finest Auto ;)

So my Secret Santa was amazing. I wasn't going to open. But couldn't wait. So I got some amazing gifts and couldn't be more thrilled. Ty Secret Santa. The Mckinney is numbered 09/18 and the Certified Manning auto is 40/125...Added my first two Eli autos in Giants uniform the the Giants collection and a big time set of Mckinney adds. Plus 200 base and inserts of Giants in two boxes and the candy. And a lovely greeting card.

fantastic stuff so far!

Opened up my secret Santa package earlier today. I had thought it was regular mail except the pink BOSS written on the front. I don’t do much with graded cards so this is a Brady I don’t have in graded form. Thanks to the SS who bought this for me!

Finally getting on to post, I received mine a few days ago. Had the girl hide it in case it was the secret santa gift. Just had her open it now to verify so my SS knows I did receive it.

Waiting till Christmas to open up though, but to my Secret Santa, THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE

My package arrived Friday, but got stashed away in the auxiliary mailroom thanks to a late delivery (shout-out to Josie for helping my Santa making sure I tracked it down).

Let's see how long I can keep it under the tree (a tree with no lights or decorations at the moment thanks to a couple of cats).

My gift arrived today! Thank you in advance to whoever sent. I’m trying my best to keep it all a secret until Christmas, but you have tempted me greatly! (Great wrapping paper choice too!)

Received mine today. I'll hold onto it until Christmas morning. Thanks Parker!

I'm intrigued, cant wait to see pics!

My gift arrived today and I have it under tree, not opening until Christmas.

Opened my gift today because I have no self-control, and I was absolutely blown away. If you are the sender and feel comfortable, please reach out via DM, I’d like to personally say thank you.

In my package was three separate gifts.

The first contained four Brent Rooker cards which I am extremely happy to add to my collection. The Museum patch specifically was one I was bidding on and sad to lose, so I’m thrilled it found it’s way to me! (Sorry if I bid you up!)

It was the next two gifts that really got me though.

A JSA Authenticated Signed Paul Hornung Jersey with the HOF inscription (Rest in Peace Golden Boy)

AND

A Beckett Authenticated Signed Davante Adams Jersey

I wish there were enough words to describe how thankful I am. I really can’t believe someone decided to do this for me without knowing me at all. It’s been a difficult semester at college and your kindness has made my whole year.

I hope your Santa blesses you just as well.

Go Pack Go <3

Received my gift today and had to open it up!

Thank you to my Secret Santa (Jose)! I appreciate it everything you got for me and it will go right into the collection!

Received mine today. Opened it on accident because I thought it was something I was expecting from eBay.

Thanks! My secret Santa hit it out of the park!

Awesome stuff. This is bar none my favorite idea/option of the year. It bridges the sports, puts a ton of fun back into the hobby, and it's always even more exciting to see who gets what!

Years ago I had a card I missed out in and wasn't heart broken. As above it was regifted to me later in a secret santa...I've never forgotten the generosity, and bar none I've tried to take those efforts And go beyond the minimums. My person hasn't opened theirs yet, but they hope they enjoy.

Think my favorite gift I found was actually their oc players game worn shoes probably the biggest too as I think they were like a size 18!

I also got 2 team bags filled with various Eagles players!

I’m pretty sure I got mine, hard to tell sometimes. I’ll be producing a video of opening it and other sports card holiday gifts at some point this week.

Santa must have mistaken me for someone else as I have another gift under the tree......

Got my gifts yesterday, thank you so much SS!! Three guys with gorgeous signatures!

- Mike Mussina auto'ed 1991 Upper Deck rookie card (PSA/DNA)
- Goose Gossage auto'ed 1976 Topps (Tristar)
- Rollie Fingers auto'ed 1976 Topps (Tristar)

Opened my gift a few days ago but haven’t been able to get the time to take some good photos.

First off, my SS didn’t hit a home run but a grand slam.

-Can’t be upset over getting Spider-Man relics with the new movie being out!
-First Stipe auto in my collection and it’s on card to boot!
-Auto of the best player on the Jags right now!
-A blaster of WWE Chrome which was great because it’s been ages since I’ve opened any wax!
-And a bag full of candy that my wife and three year old stepson have been plowing through!

By far the best secret Santa package I’ve gotten, thanks so much to my SS and to everyone who participated this year. 2021 has been a lot of sour notes but it was nice to get a sweet one here. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211222/ced4652577fc8b587c27ba381b68ae20.jpg[/IMG]

Same here. What was the candy. Lol

[QUOTE=hickson#21;17865305]Same here. What was the candy. Lol[/QUOTE]

Assortment of:

-Lindor balls
-Reese's peanut butter cups
-Hershey kisses
-Another ball type candy that my wife took immediately

Going by current ebay prices, the candy was probably more than enough to satisfy the $25 floot.

Opening mine tomorrow - I have split families and this side of the family will be opening presents on Christmas Eve. Very excited and hopeful that my Santa got me something I enjoy :)

Great show off thread so far. Excited to see what comes of the rest.

Had to open mine today because the holiday is going to be too hectic to deal with it.
