I signed up. I think I participated a couple of times a long time ago, but I don't remember the details.

We need one more person to have an even number of people. Somebody sign up!

Thank you for starting this thread, Dan! I'm pretty sure that it's responsible for drawing about 1/3 of the entrants. I really like JH's suggestion of stating a thread for the non-blogging TCDBer's to show, or at least describe, what they got, as it would give me something to link to in the wrap-up post.

And thanks for assist, Billy, it looks like we've got #32.

Jon, you finally joined! Awesome!!! It's a pretty big rabbit hole you just went down, but it's so much fun.

I've had the account for a little while now, I just haven't figured out how to do very much yet. Hopefully the new year will bring some extra time to play around with the site.

Welcome Jon. I'm glad the thread helped gain participants. Always happy to help out the good guys of the hobby.

My Secret Santa was none other than Dan (vroomed)! Here's a link to my blog post about my Secret Santa gift from Dan:

Thanks Dan for a great Secret Santa gift!

Hi Andy,

So glad you liked your Secret Santa. I had a lot of fun putting together the package. I was looking around saying "What would a Dodger card fan like to have?" I know the Puig cards may not be up there, but I figured even if they didn't fit your collection, you could turn them around with your fellow Dodger collectors for cards you do want.

I should probably do a post about what I got.

In fact, the TCDB people should do a post in this thread (then Jon can add links to here).

And sorry about the Bowman Hi-Def storage quandary. I completely understand! They do make thicker sleeves and obviously the thicker toploaders. I would do that, and then display them (with my other too-thick for pages cards) on a shelf.

Happy Secret Santas!

I got my Secret Santa gift around mid-December, and like the little kid at heart that I am, opened it immediately. Found that Roy at Nothing If Not Random was the gifter of these gifts.

The package contained 2 cards. I could tell immediately that tese were ACEO cards. So, had to flip them:

Very cool - they are signed by the artist, and limited to 50 copies of each of these.

The Griffey will go into my HOF collection with my other Griffeys and the Yzerman, well, the Yzerman collection is really my wife's so it's now hers. I had e-mailed Roy with my gratitude already so I won't repeat that here. Just wanted to show what I received.

I received some SNed Ahman Greens.    Which helped push my total of his cards to 1,000  Very happy with them
