Can’t remember if I posted the closeups somewhere else… if not I will have to add them here. Lloyd passed away last night, glad I made it to Missouri to see the collection and meet/talk to Llloyd

Sad to see another great collector pass. Hopefully he has interested heirs to do what is best with what he has left behind!

As far as I know the collection has already been donated to the club/show. Unfortunately they just sit in a case with nobody to run them.

The club/show might want to consider having a knowledgeable volunteer run several of them at their shows.

Sounds like an opportunity to me .... though none too close to home!
