Default Hobby veteran Tony Carrafiell passes away

Posted By: Tim Newcomb

I don't often respond to obit posts, but in this case I have to. Tony and Rose's table was always a wonderful destination for me at the Ft/ Wash/Reading show. Mike Peich and I would spend a lot of time each day just chatting with them. It will be very sad to pass their table at the next show and not see him, or them.

Like Ted Z., Tony was an old-school collector/dealer-- he would give great deals to folks like me who he knew were hardcore collectors, if he knew we needed it for a set or a collection. I bought a bunch of my E97s from him in 2005, including Keeler and Young. It will be a nice way to remember him when I look at them.

Tim
