I shared tables with John at every SOS for the last 10+ years, stayed at the same hotel as he did, had dinner each evening and during the last few years of his rapidly declining health, helped him load and unload his van. He was offering to buy and sell GPBs at every show. His list never approached the 150 or so badges he is reputed to have said in that video from the Max Show. The photo he posted in 2009 shows less than 100.
As for the missing lapel pin from the Beverungen group, I can only surmise that it was misplaced because of size buy either John or his daughter gathering his collection.
