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.
