Personal notes and messages apparently from one half of the violent London duo are up for grabs after being posted to Facebook by Darren Lovell, from Shirley.
The 51-year-old salesman took an interest in London’s underworld and the Kray twins in particular more than 20 years ago.
He told the Echo: “I started writing to them in prison — I got quite interested in it. I even started dating one of their cousins.”

Darren said his interest soon became a hobby that “snowballed” and before he knew it he was running a website, gangsterstuff.com, and a Facebook group with more than 55,000 members.
He added: “If it puts a smile on someone’s face then it’s good for me.”
In this collection of letters, Reggie Kray’s “unmistakable” handwriting apparently shows the crime boss in an emotional state.
Legible sections describe him feeling “real sorrow” and that he “won’t be able to smile again.”
The letters are on sale on Darren’s Facebook with prices starting at £35.
