Big props to Tigerfan22 for hammering out a huge chunk of my 82 Topps Traded set as well as some very cool Dbacks cards.  Thank you!

This was a lot of fun! Thanks to bseller for the great mix of cards, right up my alley!

Huge thanks to karsal for the great cards he sent! And it turns out I know his significant other from about 20 years ago when we both volunteered with the local senior hockey team here in town. Small world!!! Glad I participated this year, looking forward to doing it again next Christmas!!

Huge thanks to avsbruins65 for the Topps Gremlins cards! I was able to complete my Gremlins 2 set and he sent a full Gremlins 1 set. Plus a few extras! Awesome gift and can’t say THANKS enough! 

Flying Dutchman I feel went above by completing two sets :

2018 Topps Archives 303 a one and done

2016 Topps Chrome Perspectives

A big thanks to Stlmike.  Great cards.  A pleasant surprise.

Thanks to awmckenz for sending/gifting me the hockey card blaster box and fat pack. Very unexpected but certainly appreciated! Hope you and your Family had a WONDERFUL Xmas!!

Hi Fellow collectors,

I'm sad to say that my secret Santa is late to come this year.

None the wise, it was my fist year on the site & first time participating (not the last though)

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & lots of happiness, love & very good health for 2023 to you all and yours dearest.
