Time Travel Trading Update #93

 
I haven't posted much lately. Just in one of those writing ruts, you know? At least I have this monthly update to keep things going.
 
I have a half-dozen transactions to show off today, with 20 new cards being added to the queue. Let's meet the new guys...
 
Greg (Night Owl Cards) kicks things off with a quartet of 80's fun. Food issues are always fun, and I've always liked those mail-in glossy cards sets for some reason.

Next is a single card trade via the TCDB and a member named Peter. Those red Cleveland jerseys were great, and this Buddy Bell card shows it off nicely.

Store exclusive issued cards are fun too, and thanks to Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!), Three stores are represented here. All three have great designs on the front, even thought the backs leave a bit to be desired.

The biggest trade of the month comes from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor), who sent in a nice mix of baseball and football. That Lofton card is serial numbered. (According to TCDB the card, despite being serial numbered to 10,000 apparently has a print run of 9,500! Make that make sense...)

The oldest cards to join the stack come from my trade with Jon (A Penny Sleeve For Your Thoughts). Gotta love those '65 Topps cards, and that '68 insert is no slouch either!
 
Finally the last card comes from another TCDB trade I did. A member named Richard. he offered up a card on my want list, but requested a Time Travel card in return. I made the trade and swapped out the card I needed for an older card from my collection:

My thanks to all my trade partners for keeping the flow of cards coming in!

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: 322
Unique trading partners: 80

Number of cards mailed out: 1,754
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,523
Year of oldest card received: 1890
