Thanks Santa for two great card additions to my PC! Love them both - great job picking!

First is a 2015 Topps Tek Red Orbit Diffractor #/5 for the Grace collection, and a big help for completing the rainbow.

And second is a card I've had my eye on this whole last year, because I admire the artist Dave Hobrecht and am a fan of 1/1 pack issued sketch cards. This card came from one of the earliest large-scale sketch card insert sets - 2008 Stadium Club. And Hobrecht's cards are unique in that they are done using charcoal and pastel dust, instead of pencil or ink. Awesome detail for a sketch card, and a very welcome addition to my Vlad Guerrero collection!

Merry Christmas my Morning Thread brethren!

Good Morning Everyone!!

In the past for MTSS, I have received some VERY VERY generous gifts. 2 years ago [MENTION=2055]metallicalex777[/MENTION] sent me this for example:
A gorgeous TTT Letter patch along with some awesome Starbucks swag.

This year, I can't even begin to describe the card I received. When I received it, it wasn't marked in anyway as MTSS and at the time I had some stuff coming in. When I opened it I was absolutely floored. I quickly checked to see who it came from and it didn't have a name on the outside, but the inner bubble mailer did.

Dustin, you went above and beyond and not only does my Ethier PC appreciate it, I wholeheartedly do as well. This was an amazing gift.

I mean.... Good Lord, just look for yourselves......

WOW.... Just WOW.

I love this group and what it is all about. Camaraderie, generosity, Hobby knowledge , and plain old love for a fellow collector.

Merry Christmas and Happy MTSS guys.

Good Morning and Merry Early Christmas Gents!

A HUGE shout out to Charlie [MENTION=2520]ChasHawk[/MENTION] for such a wonderful MTSS package!!! Charlie, you did great and all three of these already have a perfect home in my PC. What a thoughtful package, especially with the sweet Christmas card and agift for Milo from Santa (I will wait for Friday for Milo to open that one, unless you talk me into opening it today Charlie ;) )!

To start, it truly felt like Christmas opening the box. Inside was glittery and shiny wrapped gifts, and Lindt Lindor chocolate truffles (a staple this time of year!):

Inside the Happy Holidays box were three numbered gifts:

Gift number 1 is a great card for my HOF PC, and from one of my favorite sets of all time!

2005 Absolute Memorabilia Bobby Doerr pants/bat/jersey 5/25 :)

Gift number 2 is a card I have always had on my want and watch lists, but just never pulled the trigger...I am extremely happy for this one!

2006 Ultimate Collection Felix Hernandez Numbers patch 17/35!

And gift number 3 fits perfectly well with the other Sweet Spot cards I have from the same year and set. The numbering is awesome, I am a HUGE fan of Jersey Numbering and the blue ink they used that year looks great against the bat:

Charlie, these gifts personally mean a lot. Thank you so very much for the time you took and the personal touch with the cards, new one touches, the chocolate, and the gift for Milo. The card from you and the family is up on our friends and family wall as well, seriously thank you so much!

I love what is shown off already and can't wait to see the rest throughout the day. Happy Holidays fellas! Even though some of us don't have the chance to post as often as we would like, there are some amazing friendships a lot of us have made from the MT. Enjoy the rest of the week and I hope you all have a chance to relax, see family/friends, or do what is best for your patience and mentality haha!

I have missed out twice on bringing the Dawson home and wanted to make sure this one found its way to it's rightful home. By the way, I did out MTSS on the outside envelope lol. Merry Christmas!

Good morning from a very balmy eastern North Carolina. Tornadoes, flooding, fog.....this sucks for 2 days before Christmas. It needs to be cold!!!!

Anyways, great work to everyone on here. I hope you guys don't mind me posting in your clubhouse. I used to hang out back in the day before I got locked out of this forum. LOL I love looking at all the nice cards!!!! It still amazes me at the generosity on this site.
