Fun Rip with the family

Finally finished opening all the 2024 Topps Holiday Tins and Mega Boxes that I got for Christmas. It is one of my favorite releases of the year. If anybody is interested in any for completing that set or whatever, let me know.

Topps RIPPED White Elephant Gift Guide

Post image 1

One of the great unspoken but understood secrets of the holiday season is this: nobody is good at White Elephant gifts. You’re either “holy crap, who bought this?” amazing or simply “terrible.” There is no in-between. But we’re here to help you be the former. All gifts in this guide are between $20-40, which is right in that price range/limit for this fun but stressful gift-giving (and receiving) tradition.

Our latest newsletter, Above the Mantel 004 (Cards for XMAS; 100K Barbra Streisand Items Under the Tree in '24?) is out, and includes a great long-form video on the rise and fall of Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn), and an article detailing one family's quest to catalog and sell the largest Barbra Streisand collection on earth.

Big Bri’s Deals!!

I ordered four 2022 Leaf Holiday packs from Big Bri’s Deals (which is former Leaf CEO Brian Gray). $6 each, handed them out for everyone to open… I knew it was going to be mostly worthless stuff but it was kind of fun. If it drops to $3 a pack I’d get 4-5 more. Maybe 10. Each one is either 1/1 or an autograph. But what am I going to do with an autographed Luis Matos now?

This should close out the “holiday” threading here for me this year. Unless Big Bri cuts the price!

Topps Holiday Countdown

I may be representing a very small subsection of card collectors, but the link on topps.com to the Holiday Countdown cards has led to a “page not found” error for about a week. So I just bought four of these Ohtanis because I am assuming something went awry and they’ll be in short supply. Maybe.
