I've been fascinated by the Manson story since 3rd grade.. I was reading Helter Skelter in 3rd grade when everybody else was reading kids books.

So, I just got a card with a handwritten message and signature by Charles Manson.. along with an envelope signed and addressed by Susan Atkins, a Monopoly "Go to Jail" card signed by Tex Watkins along with his handwritten address in jail, and a two page handwritten letter signed by Lynette Squeaky Fromme where she talks in depth about Manson, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkle.. ..and if I find stuff from those two, I'll probably get that too.. Don't ask - I don't know why, either.. and I've never been an autograph guy in my life.. ever..

I have stuff like screen-used props and signatures from my favorite movies and my favorite Rams (Youngblood & Warner), as well.. I dunno why.. I think I'm getting bored.. or since I'm stuck in this podunk little Texas town - maybe I just need a "piece" of the stuff that fascinates me in real world..

My wife actually thinks its pretty cool - although she touched the card Manson signed and said she felt pure evil.. lol
