Those Board Members who have been in the hobby for 20+ years will remember waiting
patiently each month for their copy of Dan Dischley's Trader Speaks.
Back in those days, one could actually aquire great cards (at cheap prices) from
magazine ads.
Legendary collectors often authored articles in this early day hobby magazine.
As we looked back at early 70's issues of The Trader Speaks, we thought about
the early days of the hobby, when many collections were built by "trades" between
collectors.
At a time when T 202's were worth $5 in excellent condition and one could
(as we did) buy a near mint N 162 set for $300 trading was often
a better way of obtaining the Ramly or E 107 you needed.
Our question is what is the most interesting trade you ever made?
Ours was trading three Ramlys to Wharton Tigar for #167 Old Judge. Sir Wharton
actually felt he had gotten a better deal and insisted upon sending $25.00
along with the #167 of Corcoran.
Let's hear about your most memorable trade.
