Time Travel Trading Update #63

 

A couple points of order before I show off the some cards. Neither the Clyde Vollmer nor the Jordan card generated any claims. Vollmer gets retired and added to my collection. As for Jordan, the response was pretty much unanimous that I should waive the "older card" requirement and trade it for something that might be more appealing. I'm going to be honest with you - I did not like the suggestion. It defeated the whole purpose of this project. Without the older card stipulation, this is just normal card trading, plus I got nervous at the thought of trying to pull off a fair vintage trade. However, since I sought your counsel I decided to try my best to trade the Jordan card. On the TCDB, there were 3 members who had this card on their want list. I started out with a trade proposal to a member who just joined in January and hasn't made a trade on the TCDB yet, but actually had a few baseball cards that were older than 1956 on his For Trade/Sale list. I sent an open offer trade, explaining my project and leaving it up to them what to send in return. No response, and after 10 days I withdrew the proposal. Then I proposed a trade to that member who had another Flags Of The World card. They responded the next day, telling me that they were interested, but not only did someone else express interest in their card recently, but they didn't know where any of their Flag cards were at the moment. I told him I'd rather have him have it than let it sit in my box, and told him to make a counter-proposal. He never responded after that. The third collector seems to only log in every couple of weeks, which is why he was the last one to be offered a trade. He hasn't logged in since I offered the trade, but I'll keep the offer up for a little while longer. If I don't hear from him this week, the Jordan gets retired with the Vollmer and added to my collection. I'm sure I'll think of something to do with it.

The second point of order - I found 2022 Topps! The day after the lockout was announced, my local Wal-Mart had numerous boxes of the product. No individual packs however, so I took one from the retail box I bought and have made it available in the trade stack (sorry, no Wander Franco!)

 

On to the trades! I'm excited to say that I mailed out PWEs for 8 Time Travel Trades since our last update - that's a new high for me!

 

Our first card is from Greg (Night Owl Cards). This was one pending return I was awaiting from last time, and not one of the 8 new trades (although Greg has one of those too!) He claimed a 1970 Topps Angels player, and sent another Angels player from the year before:

 

Next we have Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders), who took a nice selection of 70's and 80's cards and returned fire with his normally great selection of cards!

At this point I would like to state that I using my position as the manager of this project to claim one of these cards before any of you get a chance to. That 1978 Topps Keith Hernandez was one of 15 cards I needed to complete the set, so I'm snagging it and putting this card in its place:

Long time blog reader Ken returns to the Time Travel Trading action. He claimed a dozen cards, including all those O-Pee-Chee hockey from last time, and sent back 2 dozen football cards in return!

Anyone collecting 1977 Topps football?

 

I'm excited about this next one! A TCDB member named James offered up a cool card in exchange for one I had here. Unfortunately, he wanted one of the OPC hockey cards Ken had claimed. Still, I was eager to add this card, and there were a few other Time Travel cards on his want list, so made a counter-proposal and luckily he accepted. The Time Travel Trading project can now add a vintage Japanese baseball card to its ranks!

Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) must have had the Dodgers on the brain for some reason, because his monthly contribution is a bunch of Dodgers, plus a particular Kellogg's card I thought might generate some interest here.

Chris (The Collector) makes Time Travel Trading history by sending me cards from 5 different sports! The big 4 sports are frequently seen here, but Australian football? That's new to me!

Next up we have Hal, who made a TCDB trade with me to add some more 70's baseball to the stack. Strangely enough, that's the 3rd 1970 Carlos May currently in the trade stack. I never thought I'd get to a point where I'd have triples of a card here!

Our last trade of the day comes from Brendan (The View from The Third Floor). He picked up a few cards, including an autograph, and sent back a relic card plus a few others:

This month adds over 70 new cards to the project, and I have 2 trades still in progress!

 

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: 153 (2 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 59

Number of cards mailed out: 620
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 958
Year of oldest card received: 1890
