As far as this project goes, I've had a good summer. Since the start of July, I've completed 8 Time Travel Trades. I've broken the record for oldest card not once, but twice. The stack continues to grow, and I've got no complaints. I knew another lull was bound to happen, and it looks like I've finally reached it. My last update failed to generate any new trades, and a month later my stack remains unchanged.
It's time to pimp some cards!

I've had these four 1973 Topps cards in the stack since March of 2018. That's a long time to be sitting around unwanted, so the time has come to put them on the chopping block! If no one claims these cards, I'll retire them from the stack and add them to my collection. I'm OK with that, really, but I'd rather these cards become a part of the long history of Time Travel Trading. They need your help to fulfill their destiny!
As an added bonus, I'm running a 2-for-1 special! Take any two of these cards (while supplies last), and send me any one older card in return! What a deal!
Help me keep this project going! Comment below or send me a trade offer through the TCDB (My handle there is Kep75).

The Time Travel Trading Project is simple in concept. I started out with a random pack of 2018 Topps Series 1 baseball cards. My aim was to trade every card in that pack for something older. Each card I receive in turn is then made available for trade, with the goal to get the oldest card I can get.
Number of trades completed: 43
Unique trading partners: 28
Number of cards mailed out: 131
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1956
Number of cards received: 294
Year of oldest card received: 1915
