About The Traders Speak Collecting Hour
Hobby veterans Mike Berkus, Bob Wilke and John Broggi host The Traders Speak. All 3 hosts have been
in the hobby since the ‘70’s and are not known for their shyness. Mike Berkus, the quick-witted
co-host, captures the spirit of The Traders Speak: "Not only is The Traders Speak a show that
entertains and informs, but the show truly is the perfect vehicle for reaching out to the non-collector.
This is the group we hear everyone in the hobby talk about reaching. We are reaching out and making
collectors out of them."
It’s billed as the "antique road show meets Babe Ruth." But, however you characterize it,
define it, or describe it, it’s definitely one-hour of pure fun, and it’s an idea whose time has come.
"The Traders Speak" is off and running. Each week’s show discusses sports collectibles and
their values. Within the first 5 minutes, people are clamoring to call-in, ask questions and remind
the hosts over and over again, "Man, this show is great!"
