Thanks Zorloth for posting these for me.
Thanks Joseph 88 for the gifts and the painting.

I am going to build that Ho-oh this weekend, I like it looks like Lego.
The graded Ho-oh and the painting are already displayed next to my workspace.
I will send the other 2 cards to PSA, it’s a memory for me.
Thank you again.

My Secret Santa was @mitty , thank you so much! (And sorry for the delay in posting)

Thank you for the note and I have always wanted that Mew, so it hit the spot PERFECTLY! And the Dragonite is really cool! Never made it to ex cards as I never got to complete my initial collecting goals, but the silver border is really cool (maybe someday I will go for more of those)!



I included this angle for the shadowbox Pikachu so you all can see how cool this is! It hurt me a little to see that many cards “damaged”, but this is such a fun idea and I really like it!


Here are my pulls from the packs!


And thank you so much for the full Common/Uncommon/Rare set of Legendary Heartbeat, you aren’t kidding that the quality of the card stock is incredible on these! Getting these definitely got me to looking into more Japanese and I have for sure added Corocoro Mew to one of my collection goals…After I finish Southern Island, I think that will be my first Japanese Promo that I purchase!

Thank you once again @mitty and happy 2021 everyone!

Shout out to @professorstephen for the awesome gift! I loved all the cards, especially that Grookey futsal card! That one will definitely stay in my collection! The custom pack was also a blast to open, and I’ll be honest I didn’t see it right away! Glad we saved it for last unintentionally. Also managed to pull a full art Boss’s Orders, so that was an added bonus as well! And as many others, the drawing was awesome. Hope you had a great holidays and thanks again!

Mega apologies for my super late post! I’d like to thank @enigma so much, your gifts were perfect and totally on time! :grin:
Also, you have created my favorite Deoxys artwork ever, even surpassing Hoshiba’s Sky-Splitting. Shade up.

@stibs This year was a bit unlucky with shipping & Corona, so it took a bit to reach me, but it made me really happy! The VS card is just wonderful and fitting, we just got snow again here.
The drawing, damn, I would say there is nothing i would like more than a Hitmonchan + Hitmonlee fighting! And it looks great! The sitting cutie is so great too, they are super hard to get in germany so I never had one :slightly_frowning_face: . But now I finally have one :blush: . I am a fan of small plushies, and this one is great! It feels so nice.
It is so great of You to actually put something in for Karli. That really came unexpected and made me super happy … and Karli too (next post is a pic of him with the little bunny toy).
I sadly didnt pulled anything besides a holo Crobat from the packs but I will remember it as the Crobat from your Secret Santa packs. It really brought a smile to my face. The combination of all this is just wonderful and how I said, the gift for Karli really came unexpected. Thank you :heart_eyes:

Wow. I really loved my Secret Santa gift. This was my first year participating and it was a ton of fun (to both give and receive!). I am not sure who my SS is, but I want to say Thank you so much!! You included a lot of great cards and the artwork is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. It was clear you put a lot of thought and effort into this gift, so thank you!

I always love having more “Challenge!” cards! And I really loved the Mewtwo and Pikachus! Also, you can’t forget about the stonking Tyranitar :laughing:

This one was not pictured above, but I love sowsow Pikachu :heart_eyes:

Look at how amazing this picture is!!! I love this scene from the first movie, really creative
(sorry for the blurry image)

About a month ago my Secret Santa reached out to me out of concern because the tracking broke and stopped updating (international shipping was rough this past year!). Luckily, through the power of Christmas magic, it randomly showed up today at my doorstep despite USPS tracking still saying they never received it. Let’s take a look.

First, the cards:

These are awesome! The League/Prerelease promos are really unique cards (especially those Gen 4 crosshatch ones). Obviously you can never go wrong with the sowsow Pikachu. In my opinion, the star of the show here is the Deoxys because I was actually bidding on a copy of this card on PWCC not long ago and ended up losing. Well, now I have one! The ex era has the best Deoxys cards, and Deoxys is one of my favorite Pokémon (besides Garchomp of course).

Here are some really nifty things. I will be putting this Rayquaza together later when I have time, and I know just the place to display it on my desk. I love LEGO do this should be really good. And damn, these Sinnoh gym badges are so cool; I’ve never seen this before (side note: I should have reoriented them so they’re all facing the right way before the picture lol).

After taking the picture I opened the cookies/biscuits/whatever they’re called and I’ve already eaten like 6 because they’re pretty damn good haha. I was worried they would be all crumbs because the box was destroyed by USPS but everything inside was in great shape still. And of course the drawing is sick. Merry (late) Christmas to you too, @fivesetgo, and thank you for all the cool stuff!
