The "big three" back then were my "Sports Trader". Dan Dischley's "The Trader Speaks" (inspired by my Sports Trader, including a takeoff on the name), Mike Bondarenko's "Sports Collectors News." I recently found out that copies of my 25-cent "Sports Trader" were selling on E-bay (and elsewhere) for $35 each, up to $60 EACH. Mercy! I can't afford to read my own magazine. lol Those were the good ole days when EVERYONE could afford to be a collector, including kids. Nowadays it has changed so much. I have a lot of catching up to do, to just get a hang on the business of trading/buying of baseball cards.
