Happy St. Patrick's Day - proof that getting kidnapped by pirates and sold off to slavery can ultimately be a positive experience! I'm hoping this particular post proves lucky for many of of you! I've got some great cards to show off, so grab your green beer and let's roll!
I'm starting things off with another personal swap. I had to nab a couple of cards to get a couple of TCDB trades pushed through, so in their place I offer these fun cards:
I'm going to be lazy and show off two separate trades in one photograph. They were both of the one-card variety, so it just made sense to me. On the left is a vintage ASR from a collector named Paul, while another hobbyist named Evan contributed a miscut card from 1963!
Jeff, formerly from the blog Wax Pack Wonders, is up next. Big names and small cards highlight this trade, which has some great oddballs as well!
The monthly Time Travel trade from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) continues to never disappoint with a variety of cards that are sure to catch someone's eye!
Tom (The Angels In Order) is up next. Tom picked up a trio of great vintage cards, and sent a generous return in their place!
We got a big one from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) this month! Bo has traditionally taken any leftover cards whenever I add a new pack for the year, so he ended up with any 2025 cards that weren't previously claimed. Bo definately tries to send cards that have been popular in the past, like those Drake's food issue cards.
Speaking of Drake's cards, a couple were picked up by our last trader of this post, Greg (Night Owl Cards) . He swapped out some food issue for some food issue, and an extra vintage card netted me a great 1959 Rookie Star!
Thanks again to all my trade partners! There's over 850 cards in the Time Travel trade stack - something for everyone!
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: 356
Unique trading partners: 86
Number of cards mailed out: 1,878
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 2,713
Year of oldest card received: 1890

ReplyDeleteOne of the best lines I have ever read on a blog. Happy Saint Patrick's!
For now I'd like to claim the '81 TCMA Duke Snider. Great Polo Grounds photo. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll take the Jack Morris Drake's card this time!
ReplyDeleteAlso will claim 2001 Roger Maris Greatest Moments and the 1990 UD Deion Sanders.
