Do I really care about it? Not really, the only thing I get upset about is there are rules that weren’t followed. The gift itself is fine, and three of them were needed for my PC, which is better than getting a $25 card I don’t like.

Happy Holidays everyone! Let’s get back to the spirit of what this is supposed to be!

Nope, definitely know you're not whining. Apologies if my post came off as if you were. I was just detailing my frustrating experience.

I’m glad I gave it to my wife to hold onto as I would have been tempted to open prior, especially since we both caught Covid. Thankfully my wife’s quarantine is over but I’m stuck for a few more days. Stinks around the holidays but thankfully we are both fine, no major symptoms and any we did have only lasted a few days.

Thanks so much to my secret Santa!! First package was a mix of older school Orioles and numbered Topps Mini and some Bowman autos.

Next package was my first Adley graded card along with some other Adley, Trey Mancini update variation RC, some other Orioles and the Aoki card that I didn’t get in my chrome Aoki Soccer box like many other did.

Final card was a Cal Ripken Project 70 FOILFRACTOR /70! I did all the Ripken Project2020 cards but I hadn’t stayed up on the Project 70 cards so this is a great start to my collection. Thanks again!!

Agreed!! He has shown promise at the big league level, just needs to get his command in order. He has the stuff to be a 2/3 starter if he can consistently throw strikes.

Time to share mine before being busy for the holiday - a huge thank you to my Santa for my gifts! From a non-card perspective, they included a box of Green Bay Packers M&Ms (which were put to use in holiday baking and were a huge hit) and a really nice Packers grilling spatula (which was actually a big need - I moved in with my girlfriend earlier this year and we have been decidedly lacking a nice spatula).

Paired with those great gifts was this card, the nicest Bart Starr patch I think I've ever seen...

From 2008, the prime era of collecting IMO, a triple patch /25 of Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, and Forrest Gregg (along with a black Ultra Pro to really make it pop). One of my favorite cards in my Packers collection without a doubt - great work, Santa, and thanks again! I hope my recipient enjoys their gifts as much as I enjoyed mine.

Unless someone sends them to you for free.

Teddy Ballgame bat relics, YUM.

You know what, Fireball really wasn't that bad. I had to look up the proof, it's only 66 so I probably could have finished that and went back to taking care of a napping toddler.

The rest is getting used up today in my egg nog, hopefully the mix is tasty.

NOW LETS SEE SOME MMMOOORRREEEEE CAHDS!!!

My Santa sent a cool Steelers stocking and some candy which lasted about a day after I opened the package. I held out until this morning to open the wrapped package and I was totally blown away. Thanks so much Santa! This really pops in the tuxedo slab

It was FINALLY time to open my gift today and it was WELL worth the wait. A HUGE thanks goes out to my Santa for hooking me up with these amazing goodies. I’m beyond speechless and humbled by your generosity! The Leyland jersey will go great with the WBC signed 8x10 and lineup card I have. Looking forward to getting it all framed after the new year!

Very nice.

I opened mine about 3 hours ago. To be honest, I dont have a photo sharing account anywhere. I signed up to Flckr, but having issues uploading the pic. I'm guessing someone has been enjoying the "Christmas Cheer'. Anyways, I so wanted to share this card. Thank you so much Santa...

The black Prizms are such awesome looking cards! Really wish Panini had a baseball license…now we will never see it.

Great card!

Just left a bad feeling.

I've kept track over the years and noticed that same person tends to complain no matter what he receives, so there's that.

Same with me. One year spent close to $150. Guy complained.

Another year bought something that now goes for over $1K, prick didn’t even post the results.
