I received @deltazero 's package a week and a half ago but also decided to wait to open till Christmas. I was super happy to find an awesome color marker drawing of Mew, my favorite pokemon and also Umbreon! Among its contents were 2 mysterious pacakges…
First off, I loved the CGC Mew card! I actually didn’t have this card yet and this is my FIRST CGC card I’m owned and honestly, I liking the case a lot! So thank you for that! Second, I’m actually starting to look into the Ana Promos and these 2 cards were mint mint mint! Very excited to add these to my collection!
Lastly, who doesn’t enjoy opening up some packs on Christmas? I know I do, I even pulled a Gardevoir GX from the Ultra Ball! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness @deltazero ! Merry Christmas to all!
Didn’t expect this gift since I asked for something simple.
Also, I read the letter first before opening the gift. The letter really cheer me up since I was feeling down this year. Thanks @dizzle24 ,
Merry Christmas, everyone. Now I’m off to work.
haha Merry Christmas, and Im glad you enjoyed it and could brighten up your day! Ive been in that same boat with a rough year, so im happy that this little idea here could bring you some joy and hope you have a wonderful day even though you have work! The drawing is my favorite part because i literally never do art and now I kinda wanna try to do some for myself since it was so much fun to make lol.
But again, wishing you the best and everyone here a safe a healthy holiday season!
Thank you [mention]hisoka107[/mention] for the awesome gift! Such a wonderful drawing as well!! I never did pull these cards so I’m glad I can add them to my binder Merry Christmas!!
@tenaciousm17 I am so happy you liked the gifts and the drawing. The CGC card I sent you was the first one I ever bought and I thought the case itself looked good as well (as did the card, of course). The ANA cards were fun to look for and although I already knew they would be in suitable condition for E4 Secret Santa, their condition surpassed my expectations. It was a really nice surprise because I wanted to make sure you got the best raw cards I could find. If you decide to get them graded, please let me know what grades they end up getting (no pressure of course, I would be curious)!
Merry Christmas, E4 and thank you so much to my SS, @zap2 !!! This is my first time participating in a Secret Santa here on the forums and I gotta say that I could not be any happier that I did!
I received my package on Christmas Eve, so kudos to @zap2 with the God tier timing on shipping.
Upon receiving the package, I was greeted by a Squirtle who is a part of the infamous Squirtle Squad and a Remix Bout booster pack (Nice touch on the insert effect in the drawing)
The next part of the gift included a pack of Superior Fit PSA graded cards sleeves which will come in handy when my May PSA sub returns next Christmas As I opened the pack of sleeves, I noticed a card was in there and lo and behold, it was a Beat of Frontier Rally Dragonite Holo promo! I’ve been obsessing over Japanese promo/prize cards and with Dragonite being my 2nd favorite Pokémon, this card hit it on the mail for me! So stoked to have this in my collection!
Lastly, if the Remix Bout pack wasn’t enough, I was given a booster box full of them! Debating if I wanna open the entire box or just keep it sealed for now, the single pack will do!
Thanks again to @zap2, you knock it out of the park with these gifts! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Merry Christmas! And to E4, thanks for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community! Happy Holidays, all!
Thank you @azulryu for everything! I am glad you remembered about my little one, she loved the Pikachu . That made my Xmas, although we were fighting over the Mewtwo lol. The custom cards were awesome and very well thought out, those are my favorite! Thanks again !!
@teamrocketop, I’m so glad you two loved the gifts! I was so excited to get you as a Secret Santa since Mewtwo was my first Pokemon obsession. I had so many ideas of how to go about this so I tried to keep in theme of your love of Team Rocket and was able to lock down that Team Rocket Mewtwo Plushie and Rocket’s Mewtwo. Those movie cards are actually from my childhood collection and I’ve long awaited an opportunity to give it to someone who loves Mewtwo one of these days. In a way, you made me relive a lot of my childhood when searching for appropriate gifts so thank you for that. And who knows, maybe not getting that Mewtwo plushie will stir a new Mewtwo obsession.
Means a lot to know that this helped make your guys’ Christmas.
Im glad you were happy with it. I was super late with all my xmas gifts so I was worried a lot of people wouldn’t be happy. Shipping was taking forever so I didn’t want to delay your gift longer. Merry Christmas
HUGE HUGE thank you to chok! I’m still a bit at a loss of words on how thoughtful and generous this gift was. I was honestly in disbelief for an entire day.
2 vivid voltage blisters- I finally get to open vivid voltage lmao. I haven’t had a chance to find any in stores so this will be a first for me.
Charmander and Pikachu terrariums- so damn cool, didn’t know these existed. I see they have a celebi one too so I definitely need to get that
Pokemon center exclusive Sugimori art print of N+Zekrom. An item that will stay with me forever- something that I’ve always wanted but never began to think of mentioning on the secret santa form because of the cost and difficulty finding, so it’s like you read my mind. I’m so happy you got the japanese edition too, it’s such a nice size and frame. Now I also have an excuse to hunt down the reshiram one XD. Just when I’m starting to gain nostalgia for gen 5 too.
Gave me motivation to start a gen 5 display corner:
Glad you like your gift @vic, seeing your collecting interest in BW FAs and Japanese exclusive merch, this was the perfect combination. I hope you pull the Celebi from the terrarium, which was the main reason I pick that one for you, which in my opinion has the best design of all the six. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! It’s nice to have such a welcoming community being a beacon of something better during this trying year. Being away from the states and family, I didn’t have much of a Christmas, but thanks to @effectspore and the forum, I was still able enjoy myself. I have always wanted to get these plushes, particularly of the eeveelutions, but never could quite pull the trigger myself. Always another card to buy getting in the way. So it’s sweet to finally have so many of them in my possession! They will be my desk companions for a long time to come.
Thank you for everything @effectspore ! You really put in the extra work to make sure this got to Japan safely and quickly! You got this to me early, but I chose to wait until Christmas to open it. I have had the package since November, so thanks for being patient with me and my desire to open it on Christmas! Everyone enjoy Your New Years! I’ll see you all around, and certainly will see you here next year!
haha Merry Christmas, and Im glad you enjoyed it and could brighten up your day! Ive been in that same boat with a rough year, so im happy that this little idea here could bring you some joy and hope you have a wonderful day even though you have work!

for now, the single pack will do!
