Amos Otis Grand Slam Print Return and a Couple Killebrew Purchases

Today I received another Grand Slam print ttm.  This time Amos Otis signed his nicely with the blue sharpie I had enclosed (presumably) along with $10.  He wrote me a brief thank you note on my letter as well.

I purchased a couple Harmon Killebrew autographs from my collecting friend Randy, who has the most amazing Twins collection you'll ever see.  I occasionally buy Twins items from him which are the highlights of my collection, and I know he isn't getting out of the hobby, so these must be dupes from his collection.  His dupes are even better than my collection!

I bought a 1963 Volpe Western Oil print signed nicely in gold.  I have 14 of these prints signed, which is maybe half of the set.  I have 9 of the 14 from the 1964 set, which are more colorful than this set.  I also bought an unsigned Oliva print from Randy that I intend to get signed at an upcoming Fan HQ signing, along with three bobbleheads.

I also bought a 62 Post-signed Killebrew card to add to my son's collection that I will give him for his birthday.  (I'm almost positive he doesn't read this blog so I'm not giving away any surprises).

I'm sending off two more Grand Slam prints to paid signings today: Chuck Knoblauch and Ozzie Smith.  I'm waiting on another 3 or 4 that I've previously sent out to paid signings.  I also ordered a bunch more to send out.  I have 16 now.  I can see getting 30-40 of these signed.
