My Favorite Killer Card

[brian1961]

Ya know, Jarrod, unless you truly need the dough, do not sell your Killer collection.

I'm sixty, and I've liked a lot of players from different sports over the years. With some, it's an extra special appreciation. You might have "walked away" from your collection of Mr. Killebrew, with other interests, commitments, and things you have had to deal with that consumed a lot of time. But, when you are finally ready to sit down, relax, and want to really enjoy what you have taken a lot of time, effort, and expense to collect---is your collection of Mr. Killebrew among the things that comes to your mind first?

If so, simply, don't you dare sell them.

Brian, that was really nice to hear. Harmon is the only player I actually "collect", as in I have his full Topps run, tons of autos, photos, and a lot more. I was fortunate enough to correspond with him via email before he passed. I still occasionally get cards from his wife Nita.

Funny enough, the one thing I was needing some cash for fell through yesterday which I should take as a sign. I'll have to get my Killer collection out soon and look through it. Until then, here is my favorite piece- a 1960 Topps Flexichrome handpainted for a home run leaders card of Harmon and Rocky Colavito. It was never released because Rocky was traded at the beginning of the season. It's beautiful and vivid in person. I actually picked it up here years ago from Bob Lemke.

Yeah, Jarrod.....I've always absolutely loved that piece. Thanks for sharing it again.
