Thanks for visiting The Trader Speaks. I’ve been collecting cards for more than 40 years now; this site has images from some of my favorite sets, as well as descriptions of the sets and their manufacturers. The cards here aren’t for sale, but may be available for trade in some cases.
My collection was once more extensive and contained complete sets of many tobacco issues, but I’ve significantly reduced the size of it over the past few years. Although I started with baseball and still collect a few sets of that sport, my interests now are more on non-sports cards: politicians, American Indians, and other subjects. Use the menu or the links in the footer to see the sets shown here. The site looks best on a desktop because of the image galleries, but it also renders fine on smaller devices.
I named this site after a great hobby publication that ran from 1968 to 1983 (In Memoriam: Dan Dischley). The covers of several issues are shown above. Note: I didn’t publish the magazine myself, I was merely a young subscriber in awe of the contents.
Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or other inquiries. I may be interested in buying your cards if they fit with my interests, so please ask!
Bill
