Life is good! We've got more trades and more cards to show off in this month's edition of Time Travel Trading! Let's jump right in and look at some cards!
We'll start off with Greg (Night Owl Cards), who claimed a couple of cards from the 2026 Topps pack I added back in February. In exchange for two Dodgers, he sent two Cubs. It seems weird to me that the Christmas themed Holiday card is the older of the two.
Next is the monthly trade with Brendan (The View From The Third Floor). In addition to the always popular baseball and football, Brendan included cards from the sports of racing and soccer.
Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders) is also a frequent trade partner, and has infused the trade stack with some more cards from the 70's and 80's.
TCDB member Matt makes his 2nd Time Travel Trade, with a small trio of cards. Since that Piniella is one of the small number of cards I need to finish off the 1977 Topps set, I'm putting a claim in for him right off the bat! I still left 2 great 1973 cards for you though...
We also welcome a new time traveling trader, also through the TCDB. Kurt sent over a small trade, which like Matt before him, included a couple of 1977 cards I needed. Funny how that works out when you have certain cards on your Want List...
Our last trade partner of the day is the famous Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) who sent another trio of 1973 cards along with a great card from 1961!
Now, since I jumped in claimed 3 cards from 1977 Topps, I need to fill the gap with some other cards. Hopefully these will be acceptable substitutes:
Thanks again to all my traders fro this month! There are a few still pending, so next month is already looking good!
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: 430
Unique trading partners: 94
Number of cards mailed out: 2,238
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 3,221
Year of oldest card received: 1890















Hey Matt, I'll do these. Thanks!
