New Jersey Nets and Detroit Pistons Swap Porter and Money

On September 8th, 1978, the Detroit Pistons traded guard Eric Money to the New Jersey Nets for guard Kevin Porter.

Not many NBA players get the homecoming experience right away. Guard Eric Money was the exception. Money was from the local area, starring at Detroit Kettering High School.

A two-year player at the University of Arizona, Money was a rare underclassmen and just 19 years old when the Detroit Pistons selected him 33rd overall in the second round of the 1974 NBA Draft.

After being drafted, Money signed a two-year deal for what was believed to be worth $50,000 annually. Standing six-feet tall, Money was a slick guard with a knack for scoring from midrange. He joined as a backup at guard to a team built around star big man Bob Lanier and five-time All-Star point guard Dave Bing.

There was significant excitement around Money as a prospect because of his youth and scoring ability. There was also an expectation that he would be Bing's successor.

Detroit began the 1974-75 season 10-7 after 17 games and 13-10 after 23. The club reached a 31-21 record after a 15-4 stretch. The Pistons were second in the West, but a 9-21 run to end the season left the club 40-42 and fifth in the conference standings. Money had a bit role with the Pistons in his rookie season, appearing in 66 games, compiling 4.8 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 1.5 APG and 0.5 SPG in 13.5 MPG.

The Pistons advanced to the first round where they matched up with the Seattle SuperSonics. In the series opener, Sonics forward Spencer Haywood led the way with 22 points, 14 boards and five assists as Seattle won 90-77. In the second game, three Pistons scored 20 points and Detroit won comfortably 122-106.

Seattle took a 15-point lead at halftime in the rubber game and behind 26 points from Tom Burleson, held on for a 100-93 victory. Money did not play in the postseason for Detroit. He missed time due to a twisted ankle suffered in practice.

After the season, the Pistons moved on from Bing, dealing the star guard after a contentious contract holdout from the previous year. He was sent to the Washington Bullets with a first round pick for point guard Kevin Porter. In addition to Porter, the Pistons added guard Archie Clark in a trade with the SuperSonics.

Porter became the starter at point guard and Money was his backup for the 1975-76 season. Detroit began the year 11-6. However, the club lost 17 of its next 21 games. At 17-25, head coach Ray Scott was fired and replaced by assistant coach Herb Brown.

After 69 games, the Pistons were 26-43 and half a game out of fifth place in the West. Detroit saved its best for last, winning 10 of the final 13 games to finish 36-46 and fifth. The record was good enough to get them into the playoffs.

Money saw a significant boost in playing time during his second pro season partially because Porter only played 19 games due of right knee surgery. The six-foot guard played in 80 games and amassed 13.0 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 4.2 APG and 1.7 SPG in 28.3 MPG.

The Pistons advanced to the postseason as the fifth qualifying team despite having the sixth-best record in the West. They went on to a series in the opening round with the fourth-seeded Milwaukee Bucks. The first game saw Bucks rookie Gary Brokaw drop 36 points in a 110-107 Milwaukee victory. Detroit center Bob Lanier had 35 points in a 126-123 Pistons victory.

In the third and final game of the series, Pistons guard Chris Ford had a key steal with 18 seconds left and Lanier made two free-throws with 13 seconds left as the Pistons held on for a 107-104 win. During the three-game series, Money recorded 14.0 PPG on 46.3% from the field, 2.0 RPG, 4.7 APG and 2.3 SPG in 27.7 MPG.

Detroit moved on to the Conference Semifinals where they faced the Golden State Warriors. Guard Phil Smith had 26 points to lead the way in a 127-103 Warriors Game One blowout win.

Curtis Rowe and Lanier combined for 64 points in a 123-111 Pistons victory. With the series tied 1-1, Smith put up 34 points in a 113-96 Warriors victory.

In Game Four, the Pistons built a 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter. Golden State came back in the fourth quarter. Lanier and Rowe made key baskets in the last 49 seconds of the game and Smith missed an attempt with seven seconds left that would have tied the score 102 all. Detroit forward Howard Porter rebounded Smith’s miss. He was fouled and made both free-throws. Detroit won 106-102 and made tied the series 2-2.

In Game Five, Smith registered 28 points and Rick Barry put up 25 points, 11 assists and seven steals in a 128-109 Warriors win. Detroit had an early 16-point lead in the second quarter of Game Six, but Golden State got close and sent the game to overtime. 

Trailing 118-116 late, the Pistons had two chances to tie. Clifford Ray blocked Rowe’s layup attempt and Money missed a desperation shot on the last play. Golden State won the series 4-2. In the six-game series, Money managed 11.8 PPG, 2.7 RPG and 6.2 APG in 31.7 MPG.

In the 1976 offseason, the Pistons signed free agent M.L. Carr and acquired guard Ralph Simpson in a three-team trade with the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics.

Around the start of the 1976-77 season, Money re-signed with the Pistons on a reported three-year contract. Detroit began the 1976-77 season 2-6 but won nine of its next 10 games to reach 11-7. Detroit seemed to be headed to the playoffs, reaching third place in the East with a 40-28 record after 68 games. The club went 4-10 over the final 14 games to fall to 44-38, which was sixth in the conference.

Porter's return caused an uneasy dynamic with Money. Both point guards wanted to play but there could only be one starter. Guards Chris Ford and Ralph Simpson also wanted playing time. Both Money and Porter were fined at times and Porter's relationship with Brown soured significantly.

Money appeared in 73 games with the Pistons during the '76-'77 season, tallying 10.2 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 3.3 APG and 1.2 SPG in 21.7 MPG. Money started the final 11 games of the regular season and was effective, averaging 16.2 PPG on 53.1% from the field and 6.0 APG in 31.6 MPG.

In the playoffs, the Pistons faced the Golden State Warriors. In the series opener, Lanier had 28 points and the Pistons bounced back from an 18-point deficit to win 95-90. Facing elimination, the Warriors got 35 points from Phil Smith (28 in the first half) and pulled away in the second half to blow out the Pistons 138-108. Money had 31 points and seven assists in the loss.

Game Three was for all of the marbles and it was heated. With six minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, Money had an altercation with Warriors guard Charles Dudley. After Dudley attempted to take an offensive foul from Money, he kicked and threw a punch at the Pistons guard. It led both benches to clear.

The situation would escalate. Pistons forward M.L. Carr stepped in to push Dudley back but other parties would soon get involved (via The San Francisco Examiner):

"It was then that a spectator, later identified as Dennis Ackerman, reached across the table and popped Carr in the neck with a right hand. At the moment, Carr didn't even realize who had hit him but teammate Bob Lanier did. The massive center hurdled the table, leading a charge that inundated Ackerman. "The players were finally being sorted out When the next act in the drama took place. Carr has just learned who had hit him and charged after Ackerman, who was being led out. 'How low can the fans be,' said Carr disgustedly. 'That's why I went after him again. I was on the court when he hit me. I wasn't in the stands. The guy reached over. It was a cheap shot. If I had gone into the stands to hit a fan they would have thrown me out. I want to see what happens after what a fan did.' Initially quite a bit to Ackerman. "He wound up in Oakland City Jail, charged with one count of disturbing the peace and another of battery. Apparently Carr, who was approached by a police officer in the locker room, carried through with his threat to press charges against his assailant."

Neither Money nor Dudley received an ejection. Rick Barry had 35 points in the game and the Warriors gained momentum in the second half to pull away and win 109-101 and eliminate Detroit. During the series, Money averaged 18.3 PPG on 50% from the field, 3.0 RPG, 6.7 APG and 2.0 SPG in 34.3 MPG.

The playing time issues involving Porter and Money would continue into the 1977-78 season. Porter played eight games with the Pistons before he was traded to the New Jersey Nets with Howard Porter for guard Al Skinner and two second round picks. The move gave Money full control of the starting point guard spot.

Money thrived in his fourth season. With Porter out of the picture, he played a career-high 33.6 minutes a night. Money also had career bests of 18.6 PPG, 2.7 RPG and 4.6 APG. The guard also averaged 1.6 SPG in 76 appearances.

The Pistons however floundered. Detroit was 9-15 when head coach Herb Brown was fired and replaced by general manager Bob Kauffman. The Pistons played .500 basketball under Kauffman, going 29-29 and finishing the season out of the playoffs with a 38-44 record.

After the season, the Pistons went through a regime change. The Pistons hired Dick Vitale as new head coach. General manager Kauffman later resigned after clashing with owner Bill Davidson.

Vitale and Money were not on the same page immediately, leading to a trade. (via Detroit Free Press):

"But it was over a month ago that Vitale met with Money at a restaurant in the Pontiac Silverdome, the new headquarters for the Pistons. 'I guess we exchanged philosophy,' said Vitale at a press conference Friday. 'I told him what I expected from a Detroit Piston. I told him there were some things in the past that he had done that I would not tolerate. 'Then he gave me some specifics that led me to believe he could not play for me. He said his job was only on the floor. He said he didn't owe anything to the fans, they meant nothing. He said the media wasn't fair to him and the Piston organization had not treated him fairly.' From then on it was a one-way conversation. 'I stood up and told him it would take me six minutes to get to my office and after that I would do all in my power to make sure he was wearing a different uniform by training camp.'"

Money was traded soon after to the New Jersey Nets for old rival Kevin Porter, the guard who he backed up previously in Detroit. Money ended his four-year run with a stat line of 11.9 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 3.5 APG and 1.3 SPG in 295 games. The guard shot 49% from the field and 75% from the free-throw line.

Kevin Porter joined the New Jersey Nets after the aforementioned trade with the Pistons early in the 1976-77 season. Porter had wanted more playing time and got his wish in New Jersey. The six-foot guard appeared in 74 games with the Nets, and produced 16.2 PPG, 10.8 APG, 2.7 RPG and 1.6 SPG in 36.3 MPG.

Though Porter thrived individually, the Nets were terrible, reaching a 9-42 mark after 51 games. The team would play better, going 15-16 over the final 31 games to finish 24-58 and out of the postseason.

Seeing an opportunity to get a scoring guard, the Nets leaped at the chance to acquire Money. The team felt it had a younger guard who could pass and create in Eddie Jordan. Porter's looming free agency also concerned New Jersey who didn't want to lose him without receiving anything significant in return.

Money was a starter at point guard with the Nets after the trade. The guard played just 47 games with the Nets, averaging 16.7 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 5.3 APG and 1.6 SPG in 30.5 MPG.

He was traded with guard Al Skinner to the Philadelphia 76ers for Harvey Catchings, Ralph Simpson and cash considerations. The Nets were 23-27 and on a five-game losing streak when the trade was made.

Money's tenure in New Jersey and the subsequent trade did create an NBA record. On November 8, 1978, the Nets and Philadelphia 76ers were playing in a game. Nets forward Bernard King and coach Kevin Loughery both received three technical fouls from referee Richie Powell.

Three technical fouls are impossible and the Nets protested the game which ended up as a 123-117 loss. The NBA accepted the protest, ruled that the Nets were right and replayed the game from the point of King's ejection on March 3, 1979.

Money was on the Nets in November but had already been traded to the 76ers by the replayed game, so the guard played the game and was marked as playing for both teams. It made him the only player in league history to score for two teams in the same game and he is one of only three to play in the same game for two teams.

SB Nation's Weird Rules recapped the situation well.

Kevin Porter was happy to be back in Detroit after less than a year spent with New Jersey. His style of play which involved penetrating and dishing to teammates fit the uptempo style coach Dick Vitale wanted to play.

Porter was capable of putting up some unique stat lines. In early March, he had 30 points and 25 assists in a 160-117 win against the Boston Celtics. Overall, he led the NBA with 13.4 APG, a then-NBA record. He also had 1,099 assists. It was the first time a player recorded over 1,000 assists.

Porter recorded at least 10 assists in 62 of his 82 games and had at least 20 helpers on nine occasions. Along with the assists, Porter accumulated 15.4 PPG, 2.5 RPG and 1.9 SPG in 82 games and 37.4 MPG.

Detroit began the 1977-78 season just 2-8 under coach Vitale and never recovered. The team was top-six in pace, but struggled on both the offensive and defensive ends, finishing with a 30-52 record and out of the playoffs.

After the season, Porter became a free agent and signed a five-year contract with the Washington Bullets. The Pistons received two first round picks in 1980 (Rickey Brown) and 1982 (John Bagley) as compensation.

Kevin Porter on playing for Dick Vitale (via Asbury Park Press):

"I really believe in Dick Vitale's ability to communicate and relate with people."

On being a new player from his previous time in Detroit (via Detroit Free Press):

"It's a new Kevin Porter on the court. People have a wrong outlook of pro athletes. They want to win and get that championship ring on their finger so bad, that they'll do whatever the coach says. Especially if you're a dedicated individual and I think I am dedicated to basketball." 

On his issues with Herb Brown:

"I owe a lot to Dick Vitale and no matter what he says to me or how he says it, I'm going to do what he says. Dick is just going to be the last word in everything. Herb Brown would say something during a game situation and a ballplayer could change his mind just like that. I'd never been in that situation and I think I reacted wrong to it, but I guess when you're under pressure, you kinda react the wrong way. I should have kept my head and just sat on the bench as he wanted me to. "But I think Dick Vitale is going to be level with the ballplayers if you're not doing what he wants you to do he'll tell you. I hate to keep coming back to Herb, but with him you'd always hear things from somebody else, from (assistant coach) Larry Jones or from (general manager) Oscar Feldman or from the news media. That's what the problem was; he could never relate to his players."

How he feels he was blamed in Detroit:

"People pointed to me and Herb as the main problem, but there were other problems. Marvin (Barnes) had problems, Eric (Money) had problems, Bob (Lanier) had problems, Howard (Porter) had problems, Ralph Simpson had problems. Everybody had problems, mine were just more publicized."

How the Pistons can be better:

"There is no doubt that was a much better team at the beginning of last year. That was an unbelievable team. But I personally think that as a floor general and playmaker, I can get these guys to work together and make them into a good ballclub. If we concentrate on doing things in the perimeter and playing Dick Vitale's game we can win basketball games."

How his religious beliefs have helped him:

"Last summer I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior that's been a big factor in my life. Mentally, it's taken a lot of pressures off me. My dealings with the political end of things that were going on here when Herb was here, it took that off my mind. I was concentrating on the Bible and what Christ was relating to me moreso than what was going on in basketball and it really helped me mentally. "After I accepted him and tried to live by his word, things in my life kinda smoothed out for me. I give all the credit first of all to God and to my teammates my stats and my totals don't mean anything because I know where they're coming from, from those guys and God."

How the Pistons organization has changed:

"The organization has changed completely. There's not all the political things going on here now that was going on last year. I think I was just naive enough to just want to play and win all the time I didn't realize all the things that were going on behind my back. Now, instead of having four or five chiefs, there's just one chief, and that's Dick Vitale."

On his time in New Jersey (via Detroit Free Press):

"I'm here to play basketball. I went to New Jersey with a new attitude. Kevin Loughery told me to go ahead and run the team. I got my head together and broke some records."

On his playing style:

"If there's a lost ball on the floor, Kevin Porter will go get it."

Eric Money on joining the Nets (via The Central New Jersey Home News):

"I have a very exciting feeling about coming to the New York area. The Nets have a young and very talented team."

New Jersey Nets general manager Charles Theokas on Money (via Asbury Park Press):

"[Money] is a little more all-around player, a little taller, and we think can do a better job on defense."

On Money's ability:

"If we played tomorrow, Money would start for us. He opens up a lot of things."

Detroit Pistons head coach Dick Vitale on Kevin Porter (via Detroit Free Press):

"Kevin is one of the few guys who pulled me out of my seat when I watched him play."

On what he told Eric Money when he decided to trade him:

"I told him I would not trade a Mercedes to get a Volkswagen. Today we got a Mercedes."

On Porter's style of play (via Paterson Morning News):

"I want to play a running game of basketball. And to do that, you need a point guard, someone who can get the ball to the other fellas. No one can do that better than Kevin Porter."

On figuring out if it was right to acquire Porter:

"I talked with Ray Scott (another former Pistons' coach) and he said not to believe all the stories about Kevin. He wants to win. He wants to wear a Pistons' uniform."

Telling Kevin Porter at a press conference his first game will be against Money and the New Jersey Nets (via Detroit Free Press):

"On Oct. 13 we open up with the Nets. And you're going to be guarding a guy named Money. I hear you can't play defense well we're gonna find out that day because Money is going to be juiced up to get 60 (points). Think about that for the next three months."

Nets head coach Kevin Loughery on the team's backcourt after the trade (via The Central New Jersey Home News):

"As of right now, our backcourt is very solid. We have a good corps of guards in Eric [Money] and Eddie Jordan."

Nets guard Eddie Jordan on how the trade opens up a role for him as a distributor (via The Central New Jersey Home News):

"I may be the only true point guard on the team. When I come in for John, Money will be looking more for the bucket. I'd like to look for the bucket once in a while too. but I'll do whatever Kevin wants me to do. I think I'll be how the coach wants to use me. I'll know very soon though."

Seattle SuperSonics Trade Archie Clark to Detroit Pistons for Future First Rounder

On September 25th, 1975, the Seattle SuperSonics traded guard Archie Clark to the Detroit Pistons for a 1978 first round draft pick (Ron Brewer).

The Seattle SuperSonics were on the NBA come up. With a young nucleus that included Spencer Haywood, Fred Brown and Tom Burleson, the team needed a veteran point guard to complement the young group. 

That’s where Archie Clark comes into Seattle’s build for a competitive playoff team. A two-time All-Star known for his ability to shake and bake, and break down the defense, Clark was acquired by the SuperSonics in a trade with the Washington Bullets.

With NBA legend Bill Russell still looking to form a contender out of the young franchise, Seattle was a middling club, staying near the .500 mark for much of the year. 36-39 after 75 games, Seattle closed the year with a seven-game winning streak to finish 43-39.

Though he was a starter, Clark was more in a supporting role for Seattle. The guard put up 13.9 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 5.6 APG and 1.4 SPG in 77 games and 32.2 MPG.

In Seattle’s playoff opening matchup with the Detroit Pistons, SuperSonics young stars Spencer Haywood and Fred Brown combined for 45 points in a 13-point edge. 

In the second game, Pistons star Dave Bing dominated with 24 points, 11 assists and five steals in a 122-106 victory that knotted the series one game apiece. Game Three saw Seattle rookie Tom Burleson put up 26 points and 16 rebounds in a SuperSonics 100-93 win. Clark recorded 12.0 PPG on 39.5% from the field, 5.3 RPG and 4.0 APG in 33.7 MPG during the opening round series.

The SuperSonics went to the West Semifinals where they had the tough task of taking down the 48-34 Golden State Warriors. Warriors forward Rick Barry ran the show perfectly in the series opener, racking up 39 points, 11 assists and eight steals in a 123-96 blowout that favored the Warriors.

Haywood had 28 points and 15 rebounds in the second game as Seattle came back from a nine-point deficit in the final eight minutes to win 100-99. Barry scored 33 points in Game Three and the Warriors shot 51.9% from the field in a 105-96 win that gave them a 2-1 series lead.

Burleson put up 29 points and 15 rebounds while Brown came off the bench on fire with 37 points in a 111-94 SuperSonics win. Warriors forward Jamaal Wilkes powered the Warriors with 24 points in a 124-100 rout that gave Golden State a 3-2 series lead.

Barry had 31 points in Game Six as the Warriors took the series finale 105-96. Clark posted 10.7 PPG on 46.4% from the field, 2.7 RPG and 3.2 APG in 29.7 MPG during the Conference Semifinals.

In the 1975 offseason, Clark had not signed his contract to return to the SuperSonics. Though the Sonics had the right to match any potential contract offers from other teams, general manager and coach Bill Russell decided to sign Clark to a contract and deal the guard to his hometown team, the Detroit Pistons for a future first round pick. Clark also maintained a job in Detroit, making him more inclined to want to play there.

Detroit began the season a solid 11-6 but went on to lose 17 of its next 21 games. With the team at 17-25, coach Ray Scott was fired and replaced by his assistant Herb Brown. Under Brown, the team continued to struggle, but found a rhythm late in the season.

At 26-43 and half a game out of the fifth spot in the West, the Pistons won 10 of their final 13 games to finish in fifth and make the playoffs.

Clark was expected to play a big role in Detroit, but was relatively quiet as a backup point guard in a crowded position. Guards Eric Money and Kevin Porter also manned the position. In his tenth year, the Minnesota-product recorded 7.6 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 2.8 APG, 0.8 SPG, 79 appearances and 20.1 MPG.

The Detroit Pistons advanced to the postseason as the fifth qualifying team despite having the sixth-best record in the West. They went on to a series in the opening round with the fourth-seed Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks drew first blood in the opener. Milwaukee rookie Gary Brokaw had 36 points as the Bucks held on for a 110-107 win. Detroit answered back in the second game. In a foul-heavy 48 minutes, Bob Lanier led the way with 35 points in a close 126-123 Pistons victory. Clark directed traffic for the team’s offense in the close win, using his veteran guile to notch 15 points and five assists off the bench.

In the third and final game, Pistons guard Chris Ford had a key steal with 18 seconds left and Lanier sank two free-throws with 13 seconds left to key a 107-104 Pistons win. Detroit won the series 2-1. In the three-game matchup, Clark posted 8.3 PPG on 45.8% from the field, 3.7 RPG and 5.0 APG in 22.7 MPG.

Detroit moved on to a Semifinals bout with the Golden State Warriors. Guard Phil Smith had 26 points and Rick Barry tallied 13 points and 14 assists in a 127-103 Warriors Game One rout.

Curtis Rowe and Lanier teamed up for a combined 64 points in a 123-111 Detroit win that knotted the series 1-1. In the third game, Smith had 34 points and the Warriors dominated on the glass (58-37) in a 113-96 Warriors victory.

In Game Four, the Pistons managed to take a 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The Warriors battled back in the fourth making the game close. Lanier and Rowe made key baskets in the last 49 seconds of the game and Smith missed a shot with seven seconds left that would have tied the score . Detroit's Howard Porter rebounded Smith’s miss, was fouled, and made two free-throws to seal the game 106-102.

The fifth game saw Smith pour in 28 points and Barry amass 25 points, 11 assists and seven steals in a 128-109 Warriors win. The sixth game was close. Detroit built an early 16-point lead in the second quarter, but Golden State stormed back. The game went to overtime. 

Trailing 118-116 late, the Pistons had two chances to tie, but Clifford Ray blocked Rowe’s layup attempt and Eric Money missed a desperation shot on the final possession as the Warriors held on for the two-point win and the 4-2 series edge. Off the bench, Clark recorded 7.8 PPG on 50% shooting, 2.5 RPG and 2.3 APG in 20.7 MPG.

With Clark at age 35, a sizable salary and a quiet trade market for the guard, the Pistons waived Clark during the offseason. He never played another NBA game again.

Two years after acquiring the future first rounder from Detroit, the SuperSonics dealt the pick with a future second rounder to the Portland Trailblazers for forward Wally Walker. Portland selected guard Ron Brewer seventh overall in the 1978 NBA Draft.

Seattle SuperSonics general manager and head coach Bill Russell on why the team traded Clark (via the Daily Chronicle):

“After watching Frank (Oleynick, Seattle’s top draft pick) this summer in my basketball camp, I knew we were going to have to play him a lot of minutes. With Archie, we would have a rather expensive backcourt. Also, I talked to Archie this summer, and he said he had a job in Detroit, where he grew up. I decided if I couldn’t make a deal with Detroit, I was going to keep him.”

How the backcourt situation was a bit crowded (via Tacoma News Tribune):

“I want it understood that I didn’t have any trouble with Archie, but I felt I was going to have to play Frank Oieynick quite a bit unless I am mistaken. With Frank playing the number of minutes that I expect we would have had one of the most expensive backcourts in basketball.”

Detroit Pistons head coach Ray Scott on acquiring Clark (via Petoskey News-Review):

“I’ve been trying to get him since I became coach of the Pistons. At this stage of his career, he’ll be a strong force on our team on and off the court. He’s been a winner wherever he’s been.”

Bowers on collecting: Here and there at the ANA convention

By Q. David Bowers

The last week and a few other days as well were spent in Illinois at the ANA World’s Fair of Money. It was the most dynamic ANA convention since the 2000 event in Philadelphia. Instead of narrative this week I give a photo essay — of pictures taken at the show.

On Sunday before the show, I, Christine Karstedt, and my grandchildren Matthew and Kate Bowers went to North Barrington, Illinois, to spend a day with my long-time friends, the Jasper Sanfilippo family, who conduct the Victorian Palace (see the Internet site; open to the public on special occasions). Shown here is the front of the Eden Palais, the world’s largest and most ornate carousel.

I spent quite a few hours at the show autographing copies with Dwight Manley (left) and Bob Evans (right) of the just-released book America’s Greatest Treasure Ship: The SS Central America; The Second Treasure-Finding Journey. These sold just about as fast as we could sign them!

Time out for a photograph (by Mary Burleson) taken from within the Whitman Publishing display. Two U.S. Mint representatives are shown with Whitmanites Dawn Burbank and Lori Kraft, Matthew Bowers, and the author. The U.S. Mint display is in the distance.

William Hyder, publisher and guru at the Token and Medal Society, brought a cover proof of the second edition of A Tune for a Token, to be published by TAMS this autumn. Check out the TAMS website.

Some of us at the annual meeting of the Civil War Token Society (again, check the Internet): The author, Dave Schenkman, Susan Trask (president of CWTS and editor of the Civil War Token Journal), John Ostendorf, and Cole Hendrickson (John Wilson photograph).

With Chris Karstedt in front of some signage for the auction that Stack’s Bowers Galleries conducted at the show — multiple sessions that brought about $20 million with lots of action.
