What ever became of...

[clydepepper]

Perhaps, someone planning an upcoming trip to Cooperstown?

Has he been there already?


How about to his gravesite? Where ever that is.

Denton Cemetery. 24865 Meeting House Rd Denton MD 21629. It is off of Business Rte 404 just before you cross the Choptank River to Denton heading to the Eastern Shore or Lewes, DE. It is just over 70 miles east of D.C. and the same distance southeast of Baltimore.

Send him to me, I'll take him for a nice day at the beach and we'll visit Harry Hoopers gravesite which is here in town.

Part of this story is the trade aspect. Not everyone does it, but looking through the logbook, almost everyone has. It isn't just a visit from Buck - here today and gone tomorrow. An exchange is made on both sides, and a link in a chain is forged between you and your trade partners, and through them, to everyone who has participated in Buck's journey. Send me a PM about setting up a trade (The last few times I've traded I think we just exchanged addresses and picked something fun out ourselves, no haggling). These are nominal trades, largely of comparable pre-war quality (but not comparable value. what could equal The great traveller's rarity, celebrity, and provenance?). There may have been a few times when the action for Buck was hot enough to consider offers before settling on a trade partner, but I doubt it. In other words, if you want him, all you've got to do is PM me, and we'll exchange addresses, I'll send "Large Ass" Herzog to you, and you'll send me whatever floats your boat. Good trade.

Hi Greg,
This thread is only a few days old. So the card is still with me for the moment.

When you get Buck back do they get their trade back?
I used to just send Buck to whomever wanted to take him.

I've only traded back with someone once. Recently, I traded to Sean (milkit1), and then traded him again to get him back. But we didn't undo the first trade, I sent him something new rather than sending him back the card he sent.

Bonus fun fact: Sean was also the first person I traded with (first trade of Buck's travels). The next time I traded with him (10 years later or whatever it was), he sent me a card of the same player he sent the first time (not the same card). It was awesome.

Amy updates on Large Ass? I'd love to see him re-start his travels.
