Front of a Ken Climo Hall of Fame trading card, cataloged in the supplied Drive collection as “TC001-1995 DGHoF trading card.” This relates to his international Hall recognition, not his 2021 Florida induction. The card’s year does not independently date the portrait.

Ken Climo’s career is represented in the museum collection through a Hall of Fame trading card, an induction disc, and Flying Eye commemorative discs. The trading card shown here connects his portrait with his international Hall recognition. The discs offer another way to explore how a champion’s career has been commemorated. Read these objects alongside the championship record: the results establish the competitive milestones, while the collection preserves objects associated with his recognition. His Florida Hall plaque marks a separate honor.
