Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 83rd And 85th Trades

 

Oh well, no one rescued a rather large amount of cards from the chopping block last month, so I get to add some vintage to my collection. As for that basketball card, as of this publishing I have a potential offer out on the TCDB, but if that falls through, I may just leave it in the trade stack.

Today, I have just a half-dozen cards. They're still good cards, and unless someone puts in a trade claim they'll get added to my personal collection too!

 

Trade #83 (Greg: Night Owl Cards)

Traded 01/27/21: 1970 Topps #37 Dick Drago, 1970 Topps #200 A.L. Playoffs Game 2, 1970 Topps #385 George Scott

Received 02/17/21:

• 1967 Topps #116 Herman Franks (MGR)
• 1967 Topps #125 Moe Drabowsky (See Trade #97)
• 1967 Topps #206 Dennis Bennett
  

Here we have the remnants from a trade with Greg at Night Owl Cards. Of the three he sent, only one found it's way to a new home. Would you believe my collection only boasts one single card from the 1967 set? It's true! It's not even a Red Sox card, which means Bennett might be my first!

Trade #85 (Ken)

Traded: 1982 Topps #70 Tim Raines, 1981 Fleer #268 Rod Carew, 1973-74 O-Pee-Chee (hockey) #53 Richard Lemieux, 1971 Topps #270 Rico Carty, 1971 Topps #374 Clete Boyer, 1971 Topps #388 Al Oliver, 1968 Topps #39 Cookie Rojas, 1968 Topps #90 Vada Pinson, 1965 Philadelphia (football) #193 John Paluck, 1964 Topps #92 Steve Ridzik, 1964 Topps #341 Jim Roland, 1959 Topps #298 Tex Clevenger, 1959 Topps #424 Ken Aspromonte

Our second batch of unwanted cards comes from regular blog reader Ken. As you can see, more 1967 Topps cards, plus a couple others. Of this quartet, only Reuschel would head to my doubles box.

Last call on these cards! All it takes is a card older than what i send out. Make me an offer!
