The Travels of "Large Ass" Herzog (photo log)

[abothebear]

We are about two months away from the 2 year anniversary of the beginning of Buck's travels. He has been to many great sites the past two years, more than I could have imagined when we started.

I am not sure where he is currently resting but I figured I'd bump the thread back up to the top and repost the trade guidelines in hopes of re-energizing his travels.

The guidelines for the trade are this:
- Large Ass Herzog must be made available for trade again upon receipt.
- He may be traded for multiples, but must not be traded with any other card.
- He travels with a log book (I hope it still exists) that must be updated with dates and traded for info.
- The traded for item(s) must remain confidential (except for those with current log book access) even to past owners. If you want to know of LAH's trade history you have to trade for him.
- You must take a picture of yourself with LAH and post it on the site (this guideline quickly morphed into pics of Buck with local landmarks).
- You must re-post these rules when you make it available for trade (this one has not ben strictly followed, but the guidelines are posted and available so no big deal).

Here is a slideshow-type-thing I put together of his journey thus far.

I sent him to Brad H. after the National last year. I just emailed him and I will update here when I have one. regards

Large ass has been sighted. Here is a message from Brad today-

" I am traveling with my family to spring training today and will be in my office there this weekend. Thanks to your note I remembered to pack Mr. Herzog. I will get back on Net54 ASAP to get Large Ass back on his tour."

Just wanted to post a quick update - Buck has been passed on to a new (or old...) travel companion who has some great places for him to visit this summer.

In re-reading George's original guidelines this morning, I realized I had failed to
a) post a pic of myself with Buck;
b) re-post the guidelines to refresh everyone on the general rules.

This is a picture I took with my favorite little collector - son Jack (age 8) - who is holding Buck. I'm holding my favorite card in our entire collection - Jack's 2013 baseball card! (sorry for the poor quality - shot was taken a while back with my phone camera)

I took Buck to Wrigley this week. The weather was great.
Unfortunately the Cubs won.
It was a good time nonetheless.
Pictures to follow.

Here we are at the entrance to Wrigley. Assisted by my 6'5" brother.



Here he is with Ernie Banks. You'd think they'd have statues of their glory days HOFers, but they don't.



With the ivy.

George, that is awesome. Thanks for the update with pictures and everything. Ya'll look like you had a great time!!
I was hoping to get Buck back to go to the National and join the Net54baseball dinner again this year. He had such a good time on the podium with the speakers last year I thought he would want to do it again. Last year he had his own stand on top of one of the cases at our table for the whole show, other than at the Dinner. A lot of people got to see him for the first time. LMK if he is spoken for, for the time of the National, which is Wed July 31 through August 4th....
I would need him at least a day before that. Thanks again for taking care of him.

And Sean, I think Buck still has some legs .......but certainly it would be only fitting if you ended up with him for a while near the end....

Although, it is yours George, so of course you have final say....and maybe he should eventually rest in your possession since you bought him .

[abothebear]

I think he should definitely keep going. He can travel forever. I only got him back so I could bring him to this game... and to see the log book.

He is not yet spoken for, Leon, PM me an offer and your address and I'll get him in the mail. It would be great to get him back to the National.
