My understanding is that O'Doul's son sold off the memorabilia (mostly period photos) and replaced it with reprints.

My advice to someone with a collection of significant cards is to not donate it to a museum because it will never be seen again as intended even if it is not pilfered. The Met experience convinces me of that reality. I would suggest instead that they have the items scanned so that they can be shared with reference libraries and collectors all over the world and that the original items be auctioned off so they will appreciated and preserved and loved by the end recipients.
