If nobody wants Bucky I will be taking our annual trip to downtown Chicago for the Christmas season and would be happy to show him the lights and shop windows on State street as well as the Christmas market they have set up in Daley Plaza. I wont be doing that intil mid December but if he doesnt get a better offer...well i will take him.

FYI...large ass is currently at sgc getting entombed for safe keeping.

I'm a little shocked no-one has expressed interest in taking him on a trip...I will be going to costa rica jan 20th...and will take him with me there...so he will be again available for travel in early feb.

I have already enjoyed his company once, but we may be going somewhere in Feb. I'd love to have him along. BTW, you will enjoy Costa Rica. We enjoyed everything, but the Zipline with my daughter was one of those things that will always make me smile. it is an amazing time to go to Costa Rica. Cheap, safe, very Americanized.

One other idea. Leon, would you be willing to display Bucky with some pics ov some of the members at your table your table at the national? That would be kind of cool.

I want Largeass
 

I would love for bucky to come to Hawaii. I can show him the volcano and take him to the top of Mauna kea!! Howz it work? Do I offer a trade? Aloha, Dave.

absolutely
 

Great idea and would be proud to display him at our table. The Net54baseball dinner is still being decided on but if we have one again (we probably will) maybe Bucky can join us for food and drinks?

I'm sure buck would love hawaii...the way this dealio was started was a trade situation...any reasonable trade will be considered...as Buck is no prize...but is good company.

ps...I never realized how tough buck herzog with an old mill back was/is!!!

This is the greatest thread. I'm excited to see him in the SGC case.

Wonder what the grade will come back as??? :D:D

"1/2 assed?"

Well played.

It takes the fun out of it not knowing if the card will fall a part when someone takes it out of the case now.

Too bad we can't get something like "Net54 Large Ass Herzog Chain Trade" on it for posterity. 50 years from now that card might have accrued a significant historical value within the hobby. Look out Wagner, LAH's stock is rising.

But I don't suppose he needs a label, he is immediately recognizable without it. The one and only.

Bucky, can come to Savannah when he gets a chance. I work in a Hotel will give him a Suite for the night and then take him on a tour of the town. Just LMK when he's up to the trip.

Heres my offer!
 

I will trade 2 uncut sheets of t-205 reprint set, suitable for framing!! Aloha, Dave.

Did we abandon the quest for all 50 state capitol buildings? I'd still like to take him up to the tower of the Nebraska State Capitol...could be a very quick trip as there's not much to see in Nebraska.

yay! I'm nominating myself for the big ass hall of fame!

I think it's still on.

I think the 50 states is a great idea...but he will be accompanying me to Costa Rica in a few weeks...he told me he wants to go to the jungle...so we're going!!!!

Again...he will be available when I get back feb 4 for a new adventure.

pete

cant wait to see slabbed bucky. no more cringing at pictures of a raw,
uncovered, oh so delicate bucky in tornado like weather 5 feet from the ocean.

When Bucky gets slabbed, does that mean he's now ready to swim with the sharks?

I definitely lost a few fragments of Buck in Turkey...he is a frail MO FO!!!! I am a little surprised SGC is able to slab him...I'm still awaiting his return...didn't he already swim with the sharks...in the Indian Ocean? I wanna go!!!!

Whoever gets a photo of him in a shark cage swimming with great whites...will be my hero!!!!!

I'll have to pass on the shark cage but I'd be willing to get him to Ireland in July and also the statehouse in Columbus, OH.
RC

these are all great ideas. don't forget we need a celebrity too!

As if there was any doubt?
 

Buck lives!

I am coaching in the Midnight Sun game this year...would be willing to take him along

i'm taking buck to costa rica next week for a few weeks...he'll be available on feb 4 for travel...send trade bait to ullmandds@gmail.com please...

SGC CAN handle the big ass! very nice!

Where is he at?

I was just going to ask the same thing. weird.

guys...large ass is now a part of my collection as noone has come forward with a trade!!!! I got him graded...took him to costa rica last february...and sadly the sgc holder makes him a lot harder to photograph! I don't think I got one good pic of him on my trip.

He is available...trade offers are welcome!!! ullmandds@gmail.com

I offered a trade!:confused: See a few posts above (#114). Trade offer was turned down. Aloha, Dave.

i offered one too but never got a response. it was during the time when the site was screwing up badly so maybe you never received it.

lets get bucky traveling again!

Buck was traded for vintage card(s) and is no longer in my posession.

Aloha! Is he still "with the forum" or are his travelling days over?:(

i traded him to a board member...so I'd assume he's still travelling...I hope!

Peter - Are we allowed the know where he is going and to whom? I would like Large-Ass up to Spartan country at some point.

my apologies...but I can't remember who I sent Buck to!!!!! Hopefully the new owner will come forward...soon!!!!!! Most of my messages on here are now gone since using a new server.

Today Herzog went to Safeco Field to watch the Mariners play the Angels in a Turn Back The Clock Night (1955 PCL uniforms). He was able to see Albert Pujlos hit career HR #451.

Herzog's Assault Suspect
 

Haven't read the whole thread, but if large ass hasn't been to Wisconsin, I could show him a thing or two. I currently have a squirrel trapped, who could be responsible for the right border of the card. Let me know.

The squirrel is currently being held in solitary confinement and may not survive until the trial, because I haven't been able to find an attorney to defend the squirrel. Most of my neighbors in Northern Wisconsin have four legs or fins, accoutrements not shared by any of our attorneys.

I would post a photo of the prisoner, but I do not want to compromise the local jury pool with pretrial publicity. Nor do I want to draw attention to my Guantanamo of the North for obvious reasons.:)

please
 

Please....lets make sure Bucky gets to the National this year (I am happy to take him if need be). I want him proudly displayed on the podium next to the speakers at the Net54baseball Dinner...LL

When is the National?

Aug 1 - 5

Been awhile since any pics of LAH have been posted....

Yes!!!

Man, August 1-5 I will be in Jamaica on vacation :p

My fav thread.
 

Been awhile since some pics have been posted. I sure hope this thread goes on and on for a long time!!

He will be traveling to Alaska on Sunday (17) and then to Pittsburgh on Friday. Will post pictures after I get back to Seattle the week of the 26th.

Here is "Large Ass" Herzog at the home of the Anchorage Bucs.

He then traveled to Fairbanks to the home of the Alaska Goldpanners. This photo was taken just before BP prior to the 107th MidNight Sun Game.

Herzog then made the trip across country to Pittsburgh, where I reunited him with Honus Wagner. He did not have much to say to Wagner, I think that he was a little jealous as to how much attention his T206 card gets.

I'll be at Comic Con in San Diego around July 11-15... Does his current owner want to send him on a trip with me?

Sure. Send me a PM. My only disclaimer is that we need to get him to Nationals this year
