What Secret Santa brought us

[njdunkin1]

WOW! My Secret Santa surprised me with a fantastic old-timey CocaCola piece with Eddie Collins and Connie Mack, along with two T206 portraits I needed! The Doyle is a PB, and the Randall has an awesome front miscut.
I have never told other collectors this, but I secretly love and admire old timey photos and advertisement pieces with ballplayers. The Coke piece is a perfect place to start! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sounds like the entire event was a resounding success ! Again thanks to Sean for the yearly effort and I strongly encourage all 54`ers to part take in the fun. A second shout out to my "West Coast Secret Santa", very excited to add a beautiful B2 Blanket of my Fav. Black Sox, Arnold "Chick" Gandil as well as an exceptional Black Sox team photo. Excellent choices Santa and many thanks to you for your generosity and thoughtful gifts. Happy New Year too all 54`ers, be safe and as always, enjoy the family !

njdunkin1, I was your Secret Santa. Sorry for the delay! I know you were on a T206 Kling back run, so I ordered a Sweet Caporal off of ebay, annnnnnnd 2 weeks later I was sent a Piedmont (in error). So in a time crunch, I had to resort to plan B. I made the frame myself using old Coca Cola ads from 1913 and a frame from Michael's. I'm glad you like it!

Brendan, absolutely no worries! Your gift was the highlight of my evening, and it was absolutely a fantastic choice. Thank you for thinking of me--no Kling could top this!

Finally getting around to posting this...as the subject line reads, better late than Ernie Nevers. Not that Ernie Nevers is something that should be sneezed about. Let's stop discussing Ernie Nevers, he really has nothing to do with this post. I promise Nevers to post his name again.

Here is what my Santa sent me...a 1938 Goudey of Joe Vosmik, and this cool custom card that just became my new avatar. The 1938 Goudey design lends itself to this type of creation, and I think the resulting card looks like it could be part of the set. Thanks Santa!
