The 2018 induction ceremony is actually slated for July 29.

While the annual VFW show in Cooperstown was still very good this year, it wasn't the same without some of the usual attendees like Ted Z and Mark Macrae.

The Buchner Gold Coin cards put back together to form the advertising poster is pretty amazing. I know I've seen a thread about those cards before either here or on the nonsports side. Did the seller get all of them in a single lot or has he been piecing them together individually?

Here is a thread in which I posted a Lew Lipset sale catalogue from 20 years ago which had that same Buchner Gold Coin sheet on the cover, with the same cards missing. He was selling it for $2500. At the National it was being displayed by Terry Knouse of Tik n Tik; I'm not sure if he bought it from Lew back in 1997, or if it went through other owners since then.
