I checked my archive and found 37 issues, ranging from September 1964 (Vol 1, #1) to June 15,1971 (Vol 7, #3). My run is not complete. I'm not sure how long THE SPORTS TRADER continued, but was an important part of the hobby's foundation. In the first issue I checked for recognizable names in the hobby and found one who is still around but not as active in the modern hobby; Andy Strasberg. Andy would go on to become a VP for the San Diego Padres . Thanks Richard for your contributions.
