Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 59th and 62nd Trades

 

It was bound to happen sometime. I knew if I did this Remnants series long enough, I'd get to a personal swap that I did with myself. Cards I was hoping to get rid of may end up back in my doubles box. Such is the nature of things.

Our second batch of remnants comes from Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders). If that Ron Santo is giving you a case of Time Travel deja-vu, it's because a second one was just sent my way and featured in the last Time Travel Trading Update! One comes in, another goes out! Will the other Santo languish in trade purgatory as his brethren did? Time will tell!

All the above cards are destined for my personal collection unless someone claims them! All I need is a card, any card, older than the one you're getting. It's that easy!
