Hi everyone!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you all what a fantastic guy longtime Autograph Live member and RACC dealer Bjarne Soderholm is! It’s guys like him that make this hobby great!
I’ll tell you why: I have been a huge fan of a swedish musician called Joakim Thåström since I was a child. I have many autographs by him and his former band ”Imperiet”, but I have never been able to get hold of a full set of autographs from his first band ”Ebba Grön” since they are VERY rare and also quite expensive.
I have known Bjarne for approx 12-13 years, I actually got to know him here at Autograph Live when I was a newbie in this hobby. We have made a few deals and also talked many times over the years about what we like and collect. A while ago, when I showed my collection of Thåström autographs at RACC, he wrote to me and said that he thinks it's time I also get a set of Ebba Grön for my collection. I replied that it would be a dream for sure, but unfortunally my wallet at the time was extra thin because it was in the middle of the summer holidays and only about a week until my son's 18th birthday, so it was probably not the best time for any major purchases...
He then shocked me by saying that all he wants is to make a true Ebba Grön fan happy and that he therefore are giving the attached photo to me as a gift so that my collection of Thåström autographs can be completed. This is a set of graphs that would cost probably $300-$400 in Sweden, but he still gives them to me for free! And this from a person I've never met in real life, which I think makes it even more amazing!
Since I have collected autographs for almost 20 years and as said is a HUGE Thåström fan, it doesn't get any better than this for me! During my almost 20 years of collecting I think I’ve never seen a better set of Ebba Grön graphs than these!
So once again, Bjarne is truly a great guy and I recommend anyone who gets the opportunity to do business with him! And I say this not just because he gave me these for free, over the years he has also helped me several times so I am him forever grateful!

Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad this photo are coming to a good home.
It will for sure stay in my collection forever!
That's a heart-warming story if ever I heard one.
Amazing, isn’t it!
And I forgot to add the part where Bjarne said that he’s also doing this to help me with my wife! Because now she can’t be angry on me for spending to much on autographs! ;-)
Talk about one collector helping another out… :-)
Things like this help to restore my faith in human nature.
