Deceased Autographs

[glucklich]

Wow, so I was never really able to post in this thread, but now I can. Last week I went up to visit my grandfather, he's 79, but he heard I collected autographs so he gave me his. He goes "These are probably not worth anything but you can have them".
Now I'm going to have:

Johnny Cash
Marilyn Monroe
Elvis Presley
Lucille Ball
Desi Arnaz
June Carter Cash
Frank Sinatra

I'm pretty much ecstatic. He said he's going to look and see if he has anymore, these were in a box in his basement. He got most of them when he was in the Navy. When I saw those I almost passed out lol. But he's giving me the above 7 and any other ones he finds when he finds them all.

I would KILL to get these autographs...soo lucky

I know! It's insane...and he says he might have more. Which is even more crazy.
