Repack Haiku #386 (Dan Walters)

Officer Walters
Died from injuries received
During a shootout
 
1993 Topps #273 Dan Walters (RC)

 
Walters joined the San Diego Police Department after his career in the Majors was cut short by injury. In 2003, Walters was shot in the neck and then hit by a car, resulting in paralysis from the neck down. As a result of complications related to these injuries, Officer Walters passed away in 2020. It is considered a line-of-duty fatality.

Time Travel Trading Update #95


It's a relatively light post this month, with only two trades completed since last time. Regular readers of this series can probably guess who my two trade partners were. Next month should be better, as I already have one trade in progress.
 
Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) starts us off with a page of cards, including yet another 1930's film star. (I'm always amazed how well these kinds of cards hold up after almost 90 years. The colors are so vibrant!)
 
Our second trade comes from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!), who picked up a couple of Score inserts and added three Hall of Famers to the stack:

Just to add a little extra to the post, I did take advantage of some cards I need for my personal collection and did a swap of my own. Hopefully this trio of 1978 Topps cards can find a good home:

Thanks Brendan and Bo! I'm glad I can count on you two for monthly trades!
 
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: 329
Unique trading partners: 80

Number of cards mailed out: 1,776
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,559
Year of oldest card received: 1890
