The Trader Speaks
In 1968, Dan Dischley put Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y., on sports collector’s maps with The Trader Speaks (TTS). TTS was a serious monthly publication for the advanced collector. Now, It was not anything close to being an advanced or veteran collector by the time I subscribed to TTS in the early 1970s, when I was biding my time between junior and senior high school, earning just enough dollars from shoveling neighbors walkways and drives in the winter and mowing lawns in the summer to support my collecting habit.
TTS was a wonderful hobby paper with articles by Bill Haber on the Seattle Popcorn sets, articles and cover photos of cards from the 1910 Tip Top Bread set. The T-222 Fatima cigarette cards were featured on another cover and article in the August 1979 issue. A cover photo and article on Old Judge cigarette cards was in an early 1980 issue. So many of the old and rare card sets were covered in TTS, the closest I would ever come to these cards. Articles by Neil Sussman, Colin Sinclair, Lew Lipset, Jack Smalling and other great collectors/writers of the time graced the pages of TTS.
Dan Dischley was a police officer by day who ran TTS from the beginning until he sold it in 1983 to Krause Publications, the parent company of SCD at the time. The last issue of TTS was in March 1984.
