The Trader Speaks

[Archive]

Posted By: bruce Dorskind

If we can take the liberty of borrowing a legendary hobby pub name
from Dan Dischley, let's take a moment to reflect on the good
old days when collectors were as likely to trade baseball cards
with one another as they were to buy and sell cards from each other.

Our question is to ask the Board what is the "best trade"
you ever made and, if you care to share it, the worst trade you made.

Ours was:

Best trade: Two common Ramlys to Sir Edward Wharton Tigar
for a near mint large Gypsy Queen

Worst trade: St Mary's Yearbook (with several pictures of a young
Babe Ruth) for a Kalamazoo Bat Team card of Boston. The other
trader was Barry Halper.

Best wishes for a Prosperous New Year!
