Jay Hook and Frank White Returns and a Killebrew Purchase

It's been slow lately, but I did have two returns today. 

Jay Hook signed his 1963 Topps a three team cards.  He also answered a couple questions I had in my letter.




I sent six cards to Frank White via Past Pros.  It took a while, but mainly because the USPS decided my return package should go from Missouri to Minnesota, then take a detour to San Francisco, then Oakland, then back to San Francisco before heading back to Minnesota.

He finished a 1974 Topps signed by the other three, but the Andre Thornton signature is really weak, so I had him sign another that I'm working on to upgrade it.  He also upgraded my 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game, signing it in blue rather than the black he used back in 2004.






Yesterday I received a PSA/DNA-authenticated 1962 Topps Harmon Killebrew card.  I love this "in action" card.  Many years ago, when my son was working on the 2011 Topps Heritage set at TwinsFest, we decided to search the dealers there for this signed card and found one.  That one cost us $40.  This one was significantly more expensive, but I paid roughly the same in cash and made up the difference with some credit card points.


I also added another vintage bobblehead to my collection.
