Not sure about the original question, but when else will I get a chance to post my Richard Merkin card? I think it is part of set of artists cards (this is the only one I have) but it could also have been a custom-made card (I got it from Richard who I met once through Barry Sloate). I think Richard was equally well-known in the collecting world and in the art world, although I don't think either world knew much about his "other" side.
Among the fun facts found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Merkin is that Richard was on the cover of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
