Very sad news: Tony Varvel has passed away.

I have some very sad news to report. I'm sorry to tell you that Tony Varvel has passed away. You may know him as GraphingMLB.

Tony was a longtime member of Autograph Live and a friend of mine for years. He was always happy to give advice from his years of experience in in-person sports collecting, mostly for his collection and not to sell. He was also especially good at modern baseball authentication, and would generally help collectors who needed advice.

I will miss him a lot.

Rest in peace, Tony.

It's so very sad.  He was one of the nicest, most honest guys around.  I could go into a million scenarios where he helped people with graphs, but anyone who knew him, knows this already.  He went above and beyond, becoming friends with anyone he usually spoke with.  RIP Tony.  You will be missed.   :(

I was just watching an old broadcast of Star Wars Autograph Universe Graphcast on YouTube when Steve Grad mentioned this.  I had no idea.  Very upsetting.  I agree with every sentiment posted in this discussion.
