Default The Trader Speaks pricing from 1974

I used to read that, and SCD way before Krause took over. I still have an ad saved from an SCD issue from the late 70's.

Tom Pffirman (sp?) had an auction of rare wrappers, including 57-58 Topps Basketball, 1971 Topps Greatest Moments, 1968 3-D, and many others. Until Mastro had the 57-58 packs 2 auctions ago, I had never even seen the wrapper. To this day, I still have not seen a Greatest Moments wrapper (although I should have bought the box Kevin Savage had at the 97 National in Cleveland).

One last thing, when Richard Gelman started auctioning his father's archives, my brothers and I won a pack of 1967 Topps Pirates stickers. Being the types that have to open every pack we ever owned we opened this one, and honest to God, pulled a Clemente, Clemente for Mayor, and Stargell.

We all long for the good ole days where stuff was relatively dirt cheap and seemingly plentiful.
