Collector Zone _ Contests and Giveaways _ TCC Secret Santa 2012

Posted by: bajmurray Nov 18 2012, 11:13 PM

It’s time for the TCC Secret Santa!
For those who do not know what a Secret Santa is: Those who want to participate will be given the name of another TCC Member who also agrees to participate. Each participant sends a gift of cards to the person whose name they are given. In turn, the first participant receives a gift from another participating Member.
Here are the guidelines for anyone who wants to participate:
1) Members who would like to participate should send me a PM with the following information: (1) Name and address (2) Collecting interests (which I will pass on verbatim to your Santa) and (3) a general idea of what they may have to give (that way I can avoid matching up a football collector with someone who only has baseball available)
2) Also, please post your participation in the thread.
3) The deadline for signing up will be Sunday, December 2.
4) After the deadline, I will match up names & send out PMs to each member letting them know the name, address & collecting interest of the member they are to send their gift out to.
5) If you see someone in the thread who you feel you have something they would really appreciate, feel free to let me know & I’ll try my best to match you up.
6) Gifts can be whatever you like to send (after all, it is a “gift”), but hopefully, you can tailor it to the recipient’s collecting interests.
7) There is no minimum or maximum value to be placed on the gift. We have members of all different ages and economic circumstances, & I would prefer not to exclude anyone just because they cannot afford a “minimum” value.
8) Participating Members will have until Thursday, December 20 to send out their gifts.
9) Once you send out your gift, please PM me letting me know you have done so. That way I can keep track of everything.
10) Once you receive your gift, please post what you received in this thread. I think that everyone would be pleased to see what other Members received.
11) Anyone who signs up to participate agrees to fulfill their obligation to the person whose name is given to them. Even though it is better to give than to receive, it would be pretty sad to send something & then be left out.
12) Members who are on restrictions are not eligible to participate (sorry)
I’m sure that I’ve not covered everything in this post, so if you have any questions, please feel free to post them in the thread so I can share the answers with everyone.
Let’s have some fun, Santas!!

It's going to be hard to beat that Santa's generosity!

Posted by: Zimbow Dec 13 2012, 11:03 PM

I received my package from Santa today, and I am totally blown away.

I'll keep everyone in suspense by waiting until tomorrow to show everything off!

Posted by: pwolantern Dec 18 2012, 08:59 AM

Part one of my gift will be mailed out later today, the second half of it probably won't be here in time for Christmas but I will send it out as soon as it gets here

Posted by: bajmurray Dec 18 2012, 07:48 PM

Here's what Santa delivered:

Anyone else remember this product? Fleer cards and candy canes!

I hope you enjoyed! You were a tough one for me, to be sure. I know nothing of hockey, and Sacramento isn't much of a hockey town.

Well I still could not get the scanner to work so I will just post what my Santa (srsly chris) sent me.


2010 Rookies and Star Chad Jones auto #/299
2010 Platinum Brandon Jacobs 2 color patch/auto #/160
2012 Gridiron Rueben Randle 2 color patch #/49
2009 Classics Ramses Barden auto #/299

2008 SPX Chad Henne/Mike Hart dual auto #/75

and I saved the best for last...

It is kind of rare for me to find a Mario Manningham card that I do not already have, but Santa found one...


2008 Leaf Certified Jersey/Shoe/Football/Auto #/100

Thanks again Santa Chris!

Still no package on my end sad.gif

Any word from my Santa?

Posted by: bajmurray Jan 6 2013, 02:51 PM

I snt a PM without response yet.

Anyone else not receive their gift?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jan 26 2013, 02:49 PM

So, any word on who my Santa was? I've still yet to receive anything, unfortunately.

Posted by: bajmurray Jan 26 2013, 02:53 PM

Unfortunately, this is why I stopped doing this for a while.

I have sent 2 PMs to your Secret Santa asking for updates, and got nothing back.

Your Santa was droubaysports.

These type of things make me only handpick a select 4-8 people to participate. Just way too much dishonesty in this world unfortunately.

Sam...is your addy up to date?

Posted by: mjda Jan 26 2013, 08:03 PM

Maybe having some strict requirements for joining, and dishing out some MSF tags on those who don't send, would help with this issue.

You are absolutely right Mike!

When it was set up, I excluded anyone who was on any kind of restriction. Obviously, it was not enough to keep out those who were not willing to go along.

The other issue I have is not everyone who received theor gift bothered to post in the thread. I assume everyone else got something, but I have no way of telling.

Posted by: pwolantern Jan 27 2013, 07:58 PM

Brian, please send me the address of anyone who did not get anything and I will put a little something together for them.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jan 28 2013, 11:30 PM

I appreciate the thought, guys. But really, no gift needed. If anything, I was just annoyed by the lack of individual follow-through. Accepting a gift knowing that you're supposed to send one out and not doing one isn't too cool.

I really do appreciate the offer, though!
