Allow me to start with a sincere Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays to all. I wish everyone reading this nothing but the best for them and their families (and friends).

This year, we again had 149 members participate in the (now) annual TCDB Secret Santa. I cannot express enough my gratitude to all of you who sign on and send out gifts. Just wonderful people.

If you do not regularly read the forums, you may have missed that one of our participants this year (spikemg, Mike) passed away earlier this month. It appeared that it happened before he had the chance to send his gift. We have several "elves" who will be handling that one (and if anyone else wishes to be an "elf" for someone who missed out, send me a private message here and we can work something out). Let's take a moment to remember Mike and anyone else we lost this year. ... ... ... Thank you.

If you PM me a link to your blog post, User List, or other method of thanking your Secret Santa, I will add a link in this post. Feel free to leave thanks here for your Secret Santa whether you have something I can link or not. (Please do no use this to talk about not receiving something. We'll handle that privately and later.)

Again, thanks to all who participated and made this another success. I plan to organize it again for 2024. Thank you!

A big Thank You goes out to aselchert10.   he went out of his way to find me some cards that I need.  The autographed card he sent me hit my goal of 950 Huskers autographs.  

Merry Christmas to all

Another big thanks goes out to James (budler); see above! He sent a massive stack of cards to help me complete the 1986 set I'd been building, and threw in a bunch of singles for my PC binders. It was very thoughtful and generous.

Everyone, have a safe and happy season!

A huge shout out to Tsunamijon for all of the awesome cards he sent, topped off by a #'d to 35 Archie Manning auto.  Merry Christmas to all.

A big thanks to ghuggie for making a dent in my wantlists and the great '81 Bird card!

Big shoutout and thanks to jmkidd who sent me a sweet autograph card of my favorite player Carson Wentz. Numbered out of 10 no less!  
 

Here it is in all of its glory (After I scan it):

Would like to give a shoutout to otlonline2 for the great cards to add to my Braves collection!! Can’t wait to participate in this for years to come

Thanks to ProfessorFunaki for sending me a ton of Yankees golds! A leap forward in my goal!

Many thanks to RoyalCornhusker. He sent me some great  needs off my wantlist as well as a Hoops fat pack, which included some cool cards and a Milwaukee Buck for my collection. Happy Holidays to everyone on this amazing database. 

My thanks will go to you Vrooomed for organizing this Secret Santa & of course to Mike9020 for the lovely sets he sent over, allowing me to complete a number of series.

A Merry Christmas & My best wishes to you all & your loved ones of happiness & good health for the coming Year.
