Sorry got stuck at work all day!

I got a package a week and a half ago and when I saw the return address I knew I was in for a Phillies treat. I actually waited till today to open it. There a package from Portfishington sat till today. Great set of gifts from @ashburnalley and literally couldn't have fit any better into the PC. Thank you very much! Merry Christmas all!

I was watching that card, ready to make an offer and then it was gone. I was legitimately pissed.
However, now I am stoked!

Merry Christmas!!


Glad you like that card! I really wanted to include something a little older into your package. Buying older slabbed cards can be tricky when shopping for others but when I noticed it was on your needs list I got pretty excited! Merry Christmas!

Morning All!

I started to put together a big presentation the other night but had to stop due to an issue with our intake child. I brought the items to work with me this morning and finished up my pictures with my cell phone camera.

MTSS was real good to me! Shall we begin??

Nice BIG box from Santa.

2016 Topps Update Jay Bruce All Star Game Patch card! The back of the card says the patch came from his actual All Star Game workout jersey.

***PLUS BONUS 4pks of card from Boeing, the space and aeronautical company (presumably Santa's cover employer when not at the North Pole)
These are really cool as they give you a brief look at a lot of aircraft they've made over the years for the military and commercial flying.
VERY COOL and I'm going to add them to my non-sports card 3-ring binder.***

WOW! Jay Bruce 5x7's from Stadium Club 05/49, Bunt reg 04/49 & Gold version 05/10, Heritage Gold 05/10 and Series #1 RED 1/5
I've been contemplating these for some time and just havent pulled the trigger.

I would have been well satisfied with the first two packages. Package #3

2009 Upper Deck Sweet Spots Jay Bruce autograph card 110/299!
I love the UD Sweet Spots cards. I've got a few of these but I didnt have any that where numbered to 299 so it will fit nicely next to my UD Sweet Spots Jay Bruce 1/1 I received last year in the MTSS gift exchange.

And now, as instructed, I saved #4 for last!

HOLY FREAKIN MOLY! 2014 Topps Tier One Jay Bruce Bat Knob 1/1! This is my first bat knob card. I've seen them on eBay. I've salavated at the thought of one but never added one to my collection. Santa did just that! The picture I have taken doesnt do it justice! This is one of the best Jay Bruce cards I own and it will take it's rightful place in my curio cabinet (picture coming later) next to some other Jay Bruce and various other cards I have.

Last but not least, Santa included a very nice Snoopy Christmas card wishing my family a very Merry Christmas. (pic forth coming)

I'd like to Thank my MTSS in California for the very generous gifts. He went way above and beyond my expectations.

Thank you to all that come to the morning thread just to say Hi and let us all know how your day is going and for letting us all in on a small glimpse of your lives. I find FCB a very relaxing sports collecting site that I visit every day and I feel the knowledge of collectors here are second to none!

Thanks to [MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] (Dustin) for officiating this years MTSS gift exchange

Glad you like your SS Gift...as always, I have more fun with the MTSS and I look forward to these all year!

OK, So I have been busy today running all over town taking my step daughter to work, running to the post office and then going grocery shopping for holiday dinners..

Glad I goofed up and failed to get the Prime Rib without the bones cut so she would complain and have to go back and get them cut..

Now I can show off an item that I'm sure my Secret Santa was trying to find something that I didn't have of Edgar and he did a pretty good job.. One of the few Game Used Autographed Items I don't have of Edgar..
What's great about getting something from Millcreek Sports is that on these Edgar items, you get the COA that has his auto on it as well..

Thanks Starbucks Alex!

Good Morning Boys!

My MTSS went above and beyond this year and for that I am extremely grateful.
[MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION], thank you Sir!

First, 6 packs of 1986 Topps which I haven't opened yet but I will and post the results!



Then, this beauty!


And another!


Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, this gem was in the package!


I was watching that card, ready to make an offer and then it was gone. I was legitimately pissed.
However, now I am stoked!

Merry Christmas!!

Great stuff so far!

Merry Christmas and thank you to my secret Santa, who generously sent me a beautifully sparkly 90's monster for my Vlad PC. This could replace the star on top my tree.

Good morning all. Another long day at work before the weekend. Stacking bags again today. Stacked about 40 pallets with 24 bags that weigh 110 pounds each yesterday. A little stiff and sore today. I do like seeing the secret Santa gifts from everybody. I do have a couple of things to mail out myself, but with my work schedule and working out of town it's been tough.

Repost of yesterday's mail-

I get funny looks too. It probably doesn't help that I'm in a smaller town where people are less likely to know about the online postage

Morning all, Santa came and delivered some nice items to me! He's a good guy who I want to thank very much. Some nice additions to a HOF Patch collection. Also want to thank Dustin for his hard work.

Good morning Everyone! Great packages so far.

My MTSS was amazing. The real Alaskan Assassin slayed it.

All of these were needs for my Ethiers PC.

First an /8


2nd a 1/1


And 3rd a huge huge addition to the PC.


























Like I said he slayed it. Thanks Mike a million times over. These MTSS's have always been good to me and I hope they are as good to you all.

Thanks Dustin for picking up where George left off with it. You guys continue to make this a great event.

To thank (kinda) [MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] for all his hard work:

so happy with my secret Santa a sweet early jeter Beckett a few nice inserts and this crazy awesome posey patch auto thank you very much.

Good Afternoon Gents! What a stellar MTSS so far, some amazing gifts all around!

Hats off to Pete for finding a card that was at the top of my Felix list. Pics do not do these cards justice, even the back has a refractor coating. Add to that, finding one with a perfectly bold and flawless auto which is really difficult for the set of that year:
