I added a hanger of 2022 Topps Update to my stocking just to have something to rip Christmas morning. My wife found about 30+ 1970-1972 Topps baseball cards that I needed and they were fantastic! She also added 4 packs of 2021 Topps Update to my stocking that she found when she was wrapping presents that had fallen into a box of wrapping supplies that she forgot last year. No serious hits, on the modern cards, but it was a great day for our family. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Happy Trading!

Received a couple of jumbo packs of 22 Update, one of which included a printing plate. That was a nice surprise. But none of the big rookies, ugh.

I typically don't get many cards from my wantlists as Christmas presents (unless I get them myself), I think my family for the most part is intimidated because they are not collectors themselves. However, this Christmas my awesome wife got me several cards from my list. I got a 1962 Topps Rookie Parade (#591 Sam McDowell) as well as a couple 1963 Fleer.

I turned a $50 Ebay gift card from my wife into a '72 Topps Staubach rookie ($37.68) and a 1979 Stop N Go Walter Payton ($14.76). I am beyond stoked!

I received some packs of Select basketball, a couple blasters, much-needed supplies (binders and pages), and some nice singles from family members. I also had the Secret Santa gift from here, which filled a few holes in some set-building. I also received a eBay gift card and some cash, which I have already put towards some more singles off my wantlist. Also received a couple LeBron Funkos and a LeBron jersey (not card-related, but still sports-related)

Matt Kenseth card collection is nearing 50% with over 2300 different cards. Always looking for the missing remainders to get to 100% completion.

My family was overwhelmingly kind with the cards this year. I'll leave it at that. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
