Time Travel Trading Update #58


 
There are some cards that I feel confident will go quickly. One of those cards was a 1968 Topps AL RBI Leaders card featuring 3 Hall of Famers. I received that card 3 years ago and needless to say it wasn't the fast mover I thought it would be. Since the card featured Carl Yastrzemski, I was tempted many times to pull it and add it to my collection. But I kept it here, in Time Travel Trading purgatory,  and it was finally one of a half dozen cards snagged by Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders).  In return, we get another vintage Hall Of Famer and the first rub off tattoo in the trade.

Consistency, thy name is Brendan (The View From The Third Floor). Brendan made his first trade with me in January and has claimed cards on every update. He officially becomes the second member of the 10-trade club, and Brendan's generosity is in full force with this one. In exchange for a single card, he sent all this as a return package:

Anyone like minis?

The other member of the 10-Trade Club is obviously Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life), who broke new ground this time by becoming the inaugural member of the 20-Trade club! In addition to the swap, we both ended up sending along a little extra kindness (Thanks for knocking another card off my So Close page Bo!)

That Wayne Gross is an 1978 O-Pee-Chee, if you couldn't tell from the back!

I do have one more trade pending, but that will have to wait until next month's update. As always, these cards are all available in exchange for an older card! You can claim your cards below, or through the TCDB (Kep75). Let's make some trades!

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: 122 (1 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 53

Number of cards mailed out: 456
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 733
Year of oldest card received: 1890

    1. Can I add Cowher, Sierra, Grissom and all the minis? To anyone reading this and wants to claim a mini, though, feel free to give it to them instead. Thanks!
