What Cards Did Everyone Get for Christmas?
What cards did you all get for Christmas? My Mom, who knows nothing about cards or sports, gave me 2 packs of ‘89 Upper Deck. I got a Sheffield in the first pack and a Griffey in pack 2. It was really cool to get the Griffey. I know there are plenty. But back in ‘89, I heard about dealers going through more than 1 box without a Griffey. And my best friend bought a box in ‘89 without getting a Griffey. Seems like I always get better packs as Christmas gifts.

I got skunked for Christmas, but a Super Jumbo Hobby box of 2021 Bowman Draft is coming within a week as a gift to myself. Congrats on the Grifffey.

Thanks. I think I’m just going to open packs if they’re given to me. My luck seems to be better that way.

Congrats to you on your hits. I no longer ask for nor get cards for Christmas. I pick--up cards (packs, boxes, singles) throughout the year and limit my budget to a hard stop when I reach my limit. I did ask Santa for a 1 year subscription to Card Ladder Pro since I am leaving Beckett come 02/22 and need/want a source for card pricing - will see how it works out.

I got 3 boxes of Contenders which i posted in the Box Break section. I'm pretty happy with the break especially the Mize Signature card.
