Time Traveling Trading Update #89

 
We have a winner! When last we left off, we were 3 trades short of #300, and I have exactly 3 trades to show off today! Who will be our lucky winner?
 
Trade #298 came from a TCDB member named Will. A simple one-for-one trade netted me this 1964 Topps card:

Our 299th Trade comes from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) He picked up a selection of cards, including one of the 1948 Bowman! What he sent back in return is an eclectic mix of cards I hope will intrigue some vintage card collectors:

A note regarding that Louisa May Alcott card: It's not a trading card per se, rather it comes from a 1930's card game by a company called All-Fair. I'm quite curious to see if there is a market for older game cards like this. It's the 2nd card from an old game I have in the stack (along with a 1960 baseball card game that references the Washington Senators), and neither card is listed in the TCDB. Anybody out here collect them?

So now we've reached the milestone 300th Time Travel Trade! It should be no surprise that it's one of my regular trade partners...

Congratulations to Brendan (The View from The Third Floor)! It only took two cards going his way, but that was all it took to earn a free card from the stack! As for what he sent in return:
 
Appropriately, this trade was made extra special with some bonus content from Brendan. The cards were wrapped up in an old New York Times article from 1977. It was written by Dodger legend Pee Wee Reese about his friend and teammate Jackie Robinson. Seems like something I should pass on to a Dodger fan, no?
 
 
Congrats Brendan, and a hearty thank you to all my trade partners who have helped me reach 300 Time Travel trades! On to 400 we go!

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: 300!
Unique trading partners: 75

Number of cards mailed out: 1,624
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,375
Year of oldest card received: 1890

    Thanks!

  2. I'll put in for all the 1976 football and the '68 Sutherland card. You can send those with whatever I requested the last time, I'll have to see what that was, don't remember.
