If SCD ever wants quality dealers to advertise, they would have to lower rates to those that sell actual quality goods in a special section designated and those that are just looking for consignments be billed and placed separately, and frequent advertisors should get a better pricing overall than curently offered(8 week deal etc.)..

Due to the extremely high cost of advertising in the current format which is amateurish, quality dealers and or advanced collectors that just wish to sell their goods cannot make money as it was when Stommen published, that is why we turned to e bay, I much rather sell thru a newspaper....I understand Mr Lemke comments that corporations look at only the bottom line but as the SCD drifts into nothingness rapidly, so does their bottom line eventually anyway, what a shame of a paper it has become. They need to find a bandaid fast, get people back to the table & dump corrupt dealers that sell fake autographes such as CC. They MUST try to get advanced sports dealers such as Yorktown, SC Gaynor, B&E, Legacy, BMW, David Levin etc to place ads and try again to sell these ads of quality so collectors will again subscribe and participate, affordable advertising brings in subscriptions where SCD should make more money, that is what SCD must do.
