Betty Dragon

Really sad news. Betty was quite a joy to talk to. She was very knowledgeble about pre-war cards and had a very nice collection. To her family my prayers are with you in these toughest of times.

She was also passionate about collecting autographed pre-war cards, and had a pretty good collection going. She beat me at auction on this signed Nap Rucker, but was later willing to trade it to me for a signed T201 Rucker and a signed T206 Snodgrass. I had no idea she was ill, and am sad to lose someone who shared my passion for signed pre-war cards.

I recently received an e-mail about Betty's passing as well. Her passion for T206 cards will always be remembered by all T206 collectors. Her favorite player in the T206 set, Simon Nicholls with bat. Even though I lived on the east coast, & she's worked & lived in California, we were very close friends. When she came to N.J., on business, she always found a way to come visit me. We would meet for dinner & talk tobacco cards. She was a knowledgable collector of pre-war cards, but most of all, she was a great person.
