Time Travel Trading Update #85

 
Welcome to the first Time Travel Trading Update of 2024! I'm excited to begin the 6th year (!!!) of this project with 3 great trades, all of them with something special to offer!
 
Our first trade comes from John (Adventures Of A Baseball Card Collector). This is his second foray to the Time Travel Trading Project, and in exchange for some great vintage, he sends a wonderful selection of cards, including some I had never seen before!
 

There's two in particular I want to highlight. First we have a card from a 1964 Ed-U-Cards Washington Senators Baseball Card Game. No player is represented, but it features the logo of a team that has not existed in over 50 years! The other "card" is from 1953 and was collected at the time so it could be exchanged for a standard playing deck of cards using that same artwork. If you haven't looked closely at it, that would be the one and only Lou Gehrig! Yep, you technically have a chance to own a vintage Gehrig!

Next up we have a new trade partner! Tony (Uncle Charlie's Shoebox) joins the Time Travel community with his first ever blog trade! He's a Cubs fan, and found some vintage Cubbies he needed. In return, he sent a excellent trio of 1959 Topps!

 
Here's hoping this is just the first of many!

Last but certainly not least is Time Traveling regular Brendan (The View From The Third Floor). Brendan always sends a fun smorgasbord of cards, and this month is no different!


Thanks to John, Tony, and Brendan for the awesome cards! Hopefully next month I'll be able to get my hands on some 2024 Topps to give the project it's annual new card boost!
 
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: 284
Unique trading partners: 73

Number of cards mailed out: 1,536
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,264
Year of oldest card received: 1890

  1. Happy New Year, Time Travel Trade project! ... Interesting to me that there are no 1983 cards in the inventory. I'll try to remedy that by claiming the 1984 OPC Terry Kennedy.

    Also claiming: 1959 Gene Woodling, 1990 Post Pedro Guerrero, 1995 Lois & Clark Belle Curve, 1997 Fleer Kevin Ritz and 2001 Archives Warren Spahn

    Thanks!

  2. I'll claim the Gehrig if it's still available.

  3. NO beat me to the Woodling... but I'd like to claim 1959 Topps 15 & 140. I'll also claim some more later after a more careful perusal.
