What ever became of...
Bucky 'Large Ass' Herzog?
I imagine COVID got him...or, at least slowed him down. Though I was never able to participate in his numerous travels, it was sure fun watching!! .

He was sent back to the original owner and never heard from again. Dunno.

I’ve got him.
Thanks for asking about him, (one of the rarest and best T206 variations you’ll ever see). It was my intention to build a webpage and curate the “Travels” thread photos and info (so far) in an effort to inspire a new season of traveling for the old chap. But I haven’t gotten to it, and probably won’t for a while. What I can do, if there are people interested in sending him globe-trotting once again, is just scan the log book (the main reason I got him back) and then send him out again. I’ll probably just do the scan anyway. Send me a trade and your address if you are ready to take a turn as tour guide!

LA Herzog
Just read through every page of the original LA Herzog thread. This is amazing and one of the many reasons why this community is awesome.
Happy to take LA through Dallas, but I imagine there are some better spots for him to land outside of DFW! Matt

There’s no place too dull for Buck. And no place he’d pass on seeing a second time. No monument or event too insignificant for him to rally behind. No collector he’d deny the hand of friendship to. Unlike us, he’s got all the time in the world.

Perhaps, someone planning an upcoming trip to Cooperstown?
Has he been there already? How about to his gravesite? Where ever that is. .

The humble origins, the initial trips, rubbing elbows with stars, getting it's own SGC flip designation...crazy trip.
