[muskiesfan]

Pete- Absolutely fantastic! Incredible cards! Way to go Kevin! The cut is awesome.

 

[Pinbreaker]

WOW so far :shock: :shock: :shock:

My turn

My SS really knocked me over

Two RC's of a very promising up and coming Devils forward

Always wanted to add one of these to my Yankee greats Auto collection :shock:

and the card that just blew it all away

Pipgras was a Murder's Row teammate of Ruth and Gehrig
1927 Opening day pitcher and the Yankee on the mound in the most famous HR
when The Babe hit his called shot
I can't thank you enough Kevin (pinbreaker)

Pete

Glad I could help you with your collection..

Here is my SS haul...

First, a tough auto for my set

Then, a nice addition to my Parker PC

I also received $10 cash and a redemption:

Thanks Alex! May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!

 

[George_Calfas]

Keith; your original MTSS was (stu); RIP.

Despite your wishlist being 12 pages long; you are pretty tough to shop for :lol: Since Alex was (stu) MTSS he switched to you and had a shorter timetable.

Love the Guidry and Parker!

 

[MojoDan]

Brad - SWEET Buck O'Neill and Judy Johnson autos, you know how much I appreciate nice autos from that era

George - That Schoendist patch rocks! I look for stitching every chance that I get and now prefer it to multi colors I think.

Darren - the Epic set is one of the best ever. Congrats on the Yogi!

Adam - What more can I say about the LA PC, it gets better every day and that Ott card had to have made your morning

Pete - Kevin is one of our most generous members. Congrats on the haul.

Art - Congrats on the stellar Bays to add to the Sweet Spot and player PCs

Keith - Hats off on what are no doubt tough adds to your PC. Well done Alex!

Kevin - Has to be nice when you can add an inscription of your favorite player.

NOT going there

 

[muskiesfan]

Alright, my SS was Dan. To say that Dan went way above and beyond would be the understatement of the century. This is going to be HUGE post, so I apologize in advance.

The mailman delivered a box to my door. It had some weight to it. When I first opened it up, everything was wrapped in Christmas paper. Before even opening anything up, I was already blown away. There were 2 wrapped packages marked "Crystal". I'll start with those.

Dan got Crystal a Colts PC started.

Joseph Addai jersey

Joseph Addai autograph

He also included something else for her that will be part of our Christmas decorating every year.
Frosty and Santa bobbleheads

Crystal couldn't believe that he had sent her something. She loved the cards and the bobbleheads.

Now for my haul. Dan started a couple of Jerome Simpson RC rainbows for me.

Jerome Simpson 2008 Donruss Classics Timeless Tributes Bronze /250, Silver /100, Gold /50, and Platinum /25

Jerome Simpson 2008 Playoff Prestige Base, Draft Picks Light Blue /999, Xtra Points /300, Xtra Points Gold /250

Xtra Points Red /100, Xtra Points Purple /50, Xtra Points Green /25


Next some Jordan Shipleys

2010 Absolute Memorabilia War Room Materials Prime /50

2010 Absolute Memorabilia War Room Materials Oversize Jersey Number Prime /15

Andre Caldwell

2008 SP Authentic patch autograph /999

2008 Exquisite Collection patch autograph /199

Jermaine Gresham

2010 Playoff Contenders Rookie Ticket autograph

Rey Maualuga
2009 UD Black autograph /399

Still not done. I have been talking to Dan for a long time about how I wanted to try and put together the Perez-Steele Postcard Autograph set. This beauty was in there

Johnny Mize

For my Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame players, he included a PSA authenticated signed index card

Smoky Burgess

Then a sweet card for the Reds PC

Johnny Bench
2001 Upper Deck Hall of Famers bat

He also included an awesome addition to my Adam Dunn collection

2005 Prime Patches Next Generation Button /25

If all that were not enough, this one was marked "Open Last". It was the one card that I really wanted to add to my collection. I've loved the look of it since I first saw them.

Jordan Shipley and Jermaine Gresham
2010 Exquisite Collection Rookie Bookmark Patch Autographs /50

Dan, Crystal and I can't thank you enough for this. To say that we were blown away doesn't even scratch the surface. Honestly, we were speechless when we first opened everything. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you so much.

 

[muskiesfan]

Keith- That is awesome! Way to go Alex! I like the Parker and inscription autos, but the PP redemption is classic!

Charlie- Thank you for the Christmas card! We got it yesterday and I kept forgetting to mention it.
