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

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.

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
