Time Travel Trading Update #54


 
With this month's batch of trades, I hit a couple of pretty awesome milestones. As of today, I have traded away exactly 400 cards as part of the Time Travel Trading Project. What I find even more noteworthy is that I have also surpassed 100 trades! My thanks to all of you who have traded with me over the years. I never thought this idea would grow to what it has become today. 

I've got four trades to show off this month, so let's see what's new!
 
Our first trade comes from  Jim (Cards As I See Them) who sent a trio of Hall of Famers plus a sweet 50's vintage card:
 
Technically, these next three batches of card all arrived on the same day, so they all have a claim for the title of the 100th trade. For my records, I went in order as they appeared in my mail pile. Kicking things off as the 99th trade is some great vintage (and a not so vintage Red Sox) from Greg (Night Owl Cards):
 

 
That gives the 100th trade title to Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) which seems appropriate since this batch of cards includes another autograph!
 

I have no idea if Harrison Bryant is any good or how desirable this auto may be, but we'll find out!

The last trade I have for you today comes from none other than Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) In addition to the gift he gave me, Bo added some Canadian flavor to the stack with some 1985 O-Pee-Chee (oh and a few 1958 cards to boot!)
 

Thanks for the trades, guys!

21 new cards for your personal collection if you want them! Trading is simple - just agree to send a card older than what I send you!

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: 101
Unique trading partners: 49

Number of cards mailed out: 400
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 634
Year of oldest card received: 1890
