Time Travel Trading Update #49

 

When I create these update posts, I try to prepare the next month's update in advance. I'll copy over the trade stack, and update things as the cards come in. That was a little harder to do this time around with the holidays and Covid, as I just didn't have the energy to stay on top of it. Needless to say I was scrambling a little to get this in. Hopefully next month will be easier as things get back to normal, but for now let's see what new additions are available!

 

My last update featured a great trade from Chris (The Collector/The 1993). He had mention during the trade that he wanted to send a little something extra, and just before the holidays he sent a PWE with some serious star power!

 

That Stan Musial card is fantastic, and I have a gut feeling this entire group will not last long in my trade box. Thanks for the extra cards, Chris!

Next up as a trade from Brendan, proprietor of the blog The View From the Third Floor.  This was an unusual trade, in that we had a difficult time communicating for some reason. He commented on my blog about wanting to trade and provided his email for me to contact him. I did, twice, but for some reason he never got the messages. I commented on his blog and gave him my email, but never got any messages either. Out of the blue, I received some cards from Brendan, along with a list of cards he was hoping to get in return. I was more than happy to send off some cards in exchange for what he sent me:

Thanks again Brendan!

I did get one more trade in, but it was close to when I wanted this post published and I didn't have time to take pics of the cards. I'll save it next time. I also have a pending trade which I hope to complete by then as well.

Let's start the year off with some trades! All cards listed below are available for an older card!

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: 78 (1 pending)
Unique trading partners: 41

Number of cards mailed out: 269
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1955

Number of cards received: 507
Year of oldest card received: 1915
