Time Travel Trading Update #60

 
It's so hard to find good help these days. When last we traveled, I was awaiting return shipment on two trades. What I didn't elaborate on was the fact that these cards were weeks overdue from what was expected. In all honesty, I wasn't worried, as I have a good trade history with both of these gentlemen, and I was sure it was just a case of some post office shenanigans. 

Sigh...Both envelopes turned up in my wife's work bag. They must have gotten stuffed in with some other mail and forgotten until the bag was being cleaned out. All's well that ends well, and these cards are now in their rightful place in the Time Travel Trade Stack.
 
The first wayward PWE comes from TCDB member Brian, who has traveled with me once before. He loaded me up with some 70's goodness, starting with quintet of baseball:

 
But also a bunch of 1973 Topps football:


The second envelope gone rogue was this great collection of cards from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor). He only claimed 2 cards, but sent back 3 times as many, including a serial numbered auto relic refractor! (Now doesn't that just hit a lot of check marks!) 

Sometimes when cards come in, I get a feeling that another collector was in mind when the cards were picked out. I can almost sense who will claim them. When I got these cards from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life), I thought of a certain blogger extraordinaire:


Although the 1975 Topps will initially catch Night Owl's eye, I suspect the three O-Pee-Chee (each with updated text) will make their way into his hands. I could be wrong though. Also, Fanning's card must be the pinnacle of O-Pee-Chee's text updates. I can't think of any better.

Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders) is up next with a trio of early 70's cards and a pair of 1954 Topps! That 1970 Tony Taylor makes a 2nd appearance in the trade stack, so if you missed out on a great bat rack card the first time, now is your chance!



The most recent trade from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) didn't play hide and seek with me, and went right from my mailbox to my hands. Brendan continues to generously pump up the trade stack with yet another autograph!
 

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: 133 (1 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 54

Number of cards mailed out: 510
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 813
Year of oldest card received: 1890
