dan even
Anyone who collected postcards in the good old days must have dealt with Dan Even. Received an e-mail from his wife informing me that Dan passed away Aug. 3. RIP Mr. Even.

Oh wow. He was a great help to me when I was building my Orioles postcard collection. RIP

Dan was a good man who truly loved the hobby and sharing information. His help in my postcard cataloguing for the Beckett Almanac back in the day was above what was needed.
One thing he would organize, and I'd like to see one last time is in 2020 to have a "postcard" show in one of the side rooms at the National to honor his memory. Rich

I did a lot of trading with Dan in the 80's. We would write every team several times for postcards, super fellow. I have a file with many of his SCD articles saved.

Damn. I corresponded with Dan, off and on, for years. We both had regular columns in Frank and Vivian Barning's Baseball Hobby News back in the Eighties. As others have said, a good man and a generous collector. I last saw him at the second(?) Baltimore national, and it makes me smile to remember him surrounded by the postcards he knew so well.
A very serious loss for the hobby, and for his loved ones. One less true collector amongst us...
