Secret Santa -- It's ON!
 

OK

I will be coordinating the 2021 Secret Santa edition. I do realize with some of the post office/UPS/Fed Ex issues we need to get everything done as quickly as possible.

So here is the timeline I would like to use. There is some timing issues so let's get this done as quickly as possible.

I have asked Leon to make this a sticky for this week to get more people in if they so desire

12.2 Deadline for joining. I realize it's tight but that give me time to coordinate the list. Please either DM or email me your information and what you collect or are looking for

12.6 I will be off that day so I will send out your "giftee" information on or before that day.

12.18 -- Please ensure your gifts (or if you have to purchase them your gifts to be drop shipped) are ready no later than this day for delivery on or before the 24th. I will need all tracking information so this can be monitored.

Since the thought of giving is even more important than the value while I will try to match "value" I would rather you all just be thankful that you are able to give and receive to the best of your ability.

12.24 evening-12.25. OPEN Your gifts and share them with the community.

We may adjust based on your comments except for the final deadline. :)

Regards
Rich

It may be helpful to also include collecting preferences in your correspondence to Rich. That way, for example, a lifelong Yankees fan is less likely to wind up with a 1960 Topps Bill Mazeroski. I'm told some wounds never heal...

Thanks Rich for taking on the organization...it always is fun for us givers. I am in!

For people that are participating, here is the info requested in the past that you could give to Rich to make his job easier. Let me know Rich if this looks ok, or if you would like me to edit to include/subtract other info.

1) Full name

2) Full mailing address

3) favorite team/player if any

4) Collecting interest from the following categories (for example, PreWW2, Post-War, etc.)

5) Add in any additional details of what you collect (particular sets perhaps)

Looking forward to this! Rich, sir, thank you for your efforts in coordinating everything 👍

We are up to 18 participants and one more person who's in but as I reminded him, we kind of sort of need an address for him to receive goodies.

I appreciate all the good sentiments and am thankful that I have some time this holiday season to coordinate this. It's called forced days off because I have to burn 6-7 days by the end of the year or lose them.

I always try to take some time off anyway but the hours I have to burn make it even easier.

Regards
Rich

pm sent. thanks

Excited to be a part of this. Thanks!

Just a reminder, LAST DAY TO REGISTER!

Thanks!
Rich

Looking forward to receiving my info and going gift matching!:)

Had a card show this weekend. Off today, will be drawing names. If you don't hear from me with whom your person is by EOD (End of Day) please let me know so I can fix that

I counted 22 people who are participating and each one has received either a DM or an email. If I missed anyone and you have not received a DM (21 people) or email (1 person) let me know and we'll fix that immediately.

Rich

Brian

9400111699000414279153

Received !

Don't forget to put "N54SS" or something similar on outside of package so the recipient doesn't prematurely tear into it thinking it is a card(s) that he ordered.

Santa frowns on premature package destruction.

Brian

Gift sent out today. My wife posted wrong name so it will say something other than Net54 secret Sant on the return.
