Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 68th And 69th Trades

 

It's time to put a few more cards on the trade block!

 

Trade #68 (Personal collection swap)
Added to My Personal Collection 10/05/20: 1971 Topps #295 Bobby Bonds, 1971 Topps #310 Tommie Agee, 1980 Topps #51 Joe Ferguson, 1980 Topps #290 Steve Garvey (AS)

Added to the Time Travel Trade Stack 10/05/20:

• 1980 Topps #90 Manny Trillo
• 1980 Topps #145 Darrell Evans
• 1970 Topps #37 Dick Drago (See Trade #83)
• 1970 Topps #200 1969 AL Playoffs Game 2 (See Trade #83) 
  

I knew this would eventually happen if I did this little sub-series long enough. I finally reached a trade with myself. These cards were originally sitting in my doubles box, and unless someone trades for them soon, back to the doubles box they will go!

 

 

Both of these guys had decent careers. Trillo is a 4x All-Star who has won multiple gold gloves and silver slugger awards. Evans played until the age of 42 and eclipsed the 400 home run plateau.

Our next card is the lone survivor of a sizable trade with Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!):

Trade #69 (Bo: Baseball Cards Come To Life!)

Meyer's claim to fame is coming in second for the 1955 Rookie Of The Year award. He pitched 7 seasons for the Phillies and was done before he turned 30. This is a great looking card I must say - backgrounds don't get much better than that! Fun fact: As of right now I have 4 cards from the 1961 Topps set in my personal collection. All four ended up there because they were Time Travel cards no one wanted. Will Meyer become the 5th?

These three cards will get pulled from the project and added to my collection unless someone makes an offer for them.
