Posted By: <b>rand</b><p>i never met randy in person, but i contributed to his 33 goudey set many times over the last 5 years. we had a great trading friendship. i fell out of my chair when i saw this post. my thoughts go out to his family. the psa registry guys have nothing on his sgc sets. if anyone wants to see some flat out amazing sets.. go to the registry and pick any category, then look at his other sets.<br><br>he was very down to earth and kind. i hope he can meet all the guys in heaven that are on some of that cardboard. <br><br>warmest regards rand

Posted By: <b>Larry G</b><p>My sincerest condolences to the Stuckemeyer family. This was a man that really was a pleasure to transact with, and my conversations with Randy after the death of my father was very inspiring. We both shared views on life and how precious it really is, you just had to respect this man immensly. He experienced and accomplished so many great things yet I was amazed about how he could still be so humble. <br><br>Obviously a man of wisdom and honor, he will be missed in the hobby and to many of those that knew him. <br><br>Larry Gladstone

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>I never met him. All I knew was that wherever you go on the SGC Set Registry, there he was. Take a few seconds and check his collection out.<br><br><a href="http://www.sgccardregistry.com/usersets.aspx?user=85" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.sgccardregistry.com/usersets.aspx?user=85</a>

what is happening with Randy Stuckemeyer's collection? I'm down to two 1941 Goudey cards to finish up my master set and he had one of them.

My second hand understanding is that his family is keeping his collection and indeed continuing to complete his sets.
