LenK met Harmon Killebrew (childhood hero..all-time favorite player) at his 1st California card show appearance in 1983...small show..not many in attendance, which surprised me....i brought my whole Killebrew card collection (almost everything at that time including proofs, test issues etc.) just to show him i was a big fan....he was super-nice and a kind, unassuming person...i nervously approached, said hi, shook his hand, took some pics and offered to show him my collection...we sat down at a little table and he started going through the pages..people were crowding around..i was really nervous...then he asked me: "How much do you want for it?"...i was surprised, but politely declined...took a few pics with the Killer...had him sign a bunch of cards and a book...a great memory...he didn't dissapoint
