You guys are awesome. I just want you to know that. As of this post, I have completed 189 Time Travel trades (with 2 currently in progress)! This means that sometime in the next few months I will reach the 200 mark. That's an amazing milestone, and I think it should be celebrated! So here's what I'm going to do: Whoever has the honor of being the 200th trade can pick any card from the trade stack and I'll send it to them for free. Yep, any card - it doesn't matter to me if it's the 1890 Frankie Raymond or one of the new cards listed below. If it's in the stack when the mark is reached, it's fair game!
Speaking of new ones, how about we take a gander at the latest additions?
We start things off with not one, but two trades from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). Bo found quite a few cards to his liking, and claimed a bunch from the last update. In return we get a bunch of 70's baseball, 80's football, and Toys R Us rookies:
This is now the second-oldest card in the trade stack, and the oldest sports card!
Next up we have two trades courtesy of the TCDB. A member named Alex offered up a one-for-one:
Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) answered a question I've had for awhile: Will anyone actually trade for a couple of Australian Football cards? He did, as well as for a few others, and sent back this nice assortment:
Last but not least, I made a personal swap. I reassigned a few Red Sox card to my personal collection. I humbly offer these gentlemen in their place:
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.

I'm supposed to be reducing my collection, so I'll send some extras.
I enjoy this series even if I haven't taken part in a long time! Pretty cool to see the full list!
