The OFFICIAL 2024 Blowout Secret Santa SHOWOFF THREAD

[JosieD]

Reviewed mine today! Super excited to open. Thank you.

[RetailChamp]

Received mine today and cracked it open because we won't be here for Christmas. My request was something like "A sweet 90s Blue Jays card" and I think the Rocket fits the bill! Really nice on card auto. I have more than 75 Blue Jays autos, and zero of Roger Clemens, so could not be happier! Also some decent pulls from the packs. Thanks Santa!

Couple of nice packages already. The Young and Clemens autos are really nice!

my package was received today! doing a bunch of running around today before I head out of town for Christmas on Monday, going to open it later today or tomorrow before I leave!

[Tones]

Well.. had some downtime tonight so thought I would open this box that was on my door... all I can say is wow...Santo you really outdid yourself! Really blew up the UConn Alum PC (which is by far my favorite of my collections!)

First think on the top of the box was a Patriots stocking stuffed Wish a bunch of snacks. The smores mix will definitely be enjoyed with a Christmas movie here in a little bit




What came next was 6 different individually wrapped gifts.... they were not numbered but I was not sure which to open first... well I don't think it mattered... they were all AMAZING!

First up some nice National Treasures Kemba Walker action, a PC that I don't get to add to very often anymore! Along with a nice little Reus Stadium Club insert. I don't think I had ever seen this card, so I will have to see if there are numbered versions, very sharp



Next up a very nice National Treasures George Springer RPA /10!



A beautiful Museum Collection Marco Reus jersey auto /99! My Reus collection has gotten to a point it's so rare for me to add cards to collection, did not have this one!



Tage Thompson had soooo many cards in this most recent release of The Cup, I knew it was going to be hard for me to get all of them! Well My Secret Santa sent me two! I will say I actually already picked up the signature renditions a couple months ago, I will add this one into my personal collection, and move the one that I already own for something I can add to my collection.




Aaaaand then on back to Kemba Walker... this card I also already own, but I mean... definitely not a card that I am mad having a duplicate of

National Treasures RPA!


And the last one... if I had to pick a favorite this one would have been it! I do not know where you found this card Mr. Secret Santa, but I tip my hat because it has been on my want list for years. I had ever single year of Immaculate acetate patch auto's.... except for this one! Can't believe that this is how I complete that little run I did



Thank you so much for the amazing package! You really put a smile on my face for what has been a bit of a hectic last few months for me

[yoyosh]

^^^ Good lord, you must have been really good this year! Kudos to your Santa!!

[iluvfish2]

Thank you Santa!

So had this for a week or so and did not peek! I did how give it a good exterior investigation. Now no CT scanner here ;(

Knew with the original questions i had to rule out the holy grail item. Had you been able to find that i have no idea what id do. I can tell you a trip over the moon is very very likeky!

Sp I open this and first i find a package fjr my kid. That alone as im watching him open those packs brings back so many memories ala 1987 Topps Baseball even those his is Pokemon.

Now theres still two wrappings left...i can tell theyre graded.... Registry hopes dance in my head....boom two great new additions! The Studio has been on my searchings and I haven't found any new Drews in ages! I actually lost my #1 Boggs Master Set status a few weeks ago, quickly reclaimed now at 756/1209 cards)....so still short of the awards..for now

In closing a big thank you from myself and Ryan as he pulled i think two secret rares from the package and im sure will want to beat me with a new stacked deck tomorrow.

AWesome stuff folks. I have tracking if you don't receive by tomorrow. Reach out and I can let you know where it stands.

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

[Bowman1951]

Thanks as always to my Secret Santa! I hate that I rarely contribute much here anymore due to time but could never miss Jon’s longstanding tradition. Here is my video opening…

Opened mine and absolutely love my gifts! Thank you so much SS!

Got this wonderful Harold Carmichael 8x10 auto! He is one of my favorite Eagles!

Also, got a 2024 Donruss Tin to open. I apologize I do not have pictures from this. My cat is being a menace to society at the moment. Super fun to open the packs! Thank you again

I opened my gift today, as I have to work tomorrow, and I was absolutely blown away. I'll be sending the pictures to Jon for posting, but I simply cannot say thank you enough times! 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!

[hearseguy]

I finally broke down today. Thank you so much for some nice PC cards. Secret Santa nailed it. A Kobe rookie, lebron Choice red /88, Durant Mosaic, and a few packs. I honestly have not opened a pack in a hot minute. Thank you so much.
