Picking up where I left off yesterday, here is some more "12 Days Giveaway" action:

-----

Joe S - On the 12th day of christmas, tribecards realized something odd: he had sent cards to Lo, Bo, and Joe! :-)

Oh, and tribecards sent to Joe: 12 wade boggs (yes, I had a LOT of boggs cards!), 11 derek jeter, 10 kevin maas, 9 bernie williams, 8 jimmy key, 7 hideki irabu, 6 darryl strawberry, FIVE RUSS DAVIS, 4 steve balboni, 3 cecil fielder, 2 roger clemens, and a babe ruth 'called shot' card!
-----

-----
Greg - On the 12th day of christmas, greg got some dodgers sent his way: 12 hershiser, 11 shawn green, 10 raul mondesi, 9 eric karros, 8 scioscia cards, 7 brett butler, 6 kal daniels, FIVE KARIM GARCIA, 4 billy ashley, 3 todd hundley, 2 jeff kent, and an '05 ud origins jd drew old judge! (yeah, you kinda have to squeeze that one into the melody...)
-----
Jim - On the 12th day of christmas, tribecards sent dodgers/twins to jim: 12 kirby puckett, 11 adrian beltre, 10 knoblauch, 9 paul molitor, 8 torii hunter, 7 kevin brown, 6 hollingsworth, FIVE HIDEO NOMO, 4 grudzielanek, 3 eric davis, 2 latry hawkins, and a jackie robinson etopps national promo card (it's a mini!)
-----
Gerald S - (sorta to the tune: we three kings): Gerald's three sons collect the sports cards. so tribecards sent them gifts to afar. Dodgers, lakers, not all takers, but they'll enjoy them, that's for sure... Okay, so it fell apart there at the end... :-)
-----
Kris - Kris collects Dodgers, Rangers, Royals, and Orioles, so I put together a gift pack that was spread across the spectrum:

On the 12th day of christmas, tribecards sent these cards to kris: 12 kevin brown, 11 steve finley, 10 assorted orioles, 9 nolan ryan, 8 melvin mora, 7 kevin appier, 6 charlie leibrandt, FIVE DARREN DREIFORT, 4 hubie brooks, 3 players signing autos, 2 carlos febles, and a nomar garciaparra co-signers card!

Oh, kris also collects players signing autos, so that's why those are in there. I tried to find more than just three, but the process was taking longer than I had thought it would. easy to look for, just hard to find. :-) So, i'll be pulling together a set of auto-signing players and send them off later. :-)
-----
Zach - Unfortunately, I had no mamay's for ya, and for the purposes of thee 12 days giveaway, it was hard to come up with current royals. no worries, though, I'll have a stack of current guys ready to send to ya later! in the meantime:

on the 12th day of christmas, tribecards sent royals off to zach: 12 kevin appier, 11 gubicza, 10 jeff montgomery, 9 bo jackson, 8 david howard, 7 jim eisenreich, 6 wally joyner, FIVE GEORGE BRETT CARDS, 4 david cone, 3 gregg jeffries, 2 mark quinn, and a luke hochevar royals card!
-----
Joe M - On the 12th day of christmas, tribecards sent these cards to joe: 12 jose canseco, 11 mo vaughn, 10 dwight evans, 9 jody reed, 8 garciaparra, 7 tom brunansky, 6 roger clemens, FIVE ELLIS BURKS, 4 tim wakefield, 3 mike stanley, 2 josh beckett, and a curt schilling national pasttime card!
-----
Scott C - (i think this will fit the '12 days' melody...) Although no gabbard's were found among the red sox cards i have, tribecards found a bunch of greenwell cards to send. so, on the 12th day of christmas, tribecards sent away to scott: 12 mike greenwell, 11 mo vaughn, 10 wade boggs, 9 john valentin, 8 jim rice, 7 trot nixon, 6 oil cans, FIVE AARON SELE, 4 ellis burks, 3 vaughn eschelman, 2 bobby doerr, and a johnny damon ud origins card!
-----
Adam E - Believe it or not, I still have the wrapped packages you sent me! I wanted to open them on christmas, but I was afraid they'd get mixed in with the other cards I got from my mother-in-law, and I was taking no chances! So, I will be opnening those this weekend! WAHOO!

On the 12th day of christmas (although, really, I should change that to something else, since the 12th day has long come and gone, eh), tribecards sent some sox to adam: 12 ellis burks, 11 rogeer clemens, 10 mo vaughn, 9 mike greenwell, 8 marty barrett, 7 jeff suppan, 6 scott cooper, FIVE TONY PENA, 4 yastrzemski, 3 man-ram, 2 kevin youkilis, and a garciaparra etopps card! (Sorry, I only had two Youkilis that I could round up quickly... I'll set aside others I find and sent them later, though!)
-----

Those are the '12 days' giftpacks that have been assembled. some of those have already been sent off and some are going out VERY shortly!

If your name/giftpack was not listed, please do not fret! I am working hard to get those together for ya and have them sent out Monday. :-)

i appreciate your patience with the gift packs. Next year's offering will not be so delayed if I can help it!! :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!!

  1. Wow, I'm exhausted just reading it. I don't know how you do it. The Christmas season is busy enough.

    Thank you.

    P.S.: my word verification is: manic. Really.

  2. Thanks for the cards. It was great how you took the time to gift wrap them and all. No problem with the Mahay or any other current Royal. I think that my favorite part may have been the Willie Wilson button.

    Thanks again!

  4. Hey man, thanks for the cards! They'll be featured soon enough on Darryl Strawberry Fields, I promise! I feel like days are shortened or something during the holidays; I havent had a spare minute to devote to blogging. But I will say, I've never laughed so hard as a card as I did when I saw the Irabu "Mighty Fine in 99" card... hahahaha...
