Time Travel Trading Update #42

It's been awhile, hasn't it? Just about two months in fact. This pandemic has slowed trading down a lot it seems. For my part, I've been trying to keep my trips to post office down to once or twice a month. So it took a little while for me and Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life) to complete yet another Time Travel Trade. Like all good things, it was worth the wait, as Bo sent some nice vintage:


So, here's a funny story about that checklist - Bo actually sent a copy of that card once before. It was traded to Tom at The Angels In Order, who sent me a sweet Vida Pinson. That Pinson was the card Bo wanted. So essentially, that checklist was involved in both the incoming and outgoing trades involving the Vida Pinson card!

Of course, Bo didn't stop there! He also included these fantastic trivia cards from 1976!


This is my first time seeing this fun set from the Funk Sale Corp. I love the cartoons!

Thanks for the Trade Bo!

I've still got one more trade pending at the moment, so hopefully it won't be another 2 months before the next update. In the meantime, I sure could use some more trade partners! All of the cards are available for trade, and all it takes is just one card older than the card I'm sending you. Help me keep this project moving along and make me an offer!

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: 55 (1 pending)
Unique trading partners: 32

Number of cards mailed out: 188
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1956

Number of cards received: 398
Year of oldest card received: 1915
