Time Travel Trading Update #68

 
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:
  
Before that trade, however, Bo had his eye on the 1934 Goudey that recently entered the stack. He acquired some tobacco cards, and sent along a great boxing card from 1910 to send for Shanty Hogan:

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:

While another member named Harry agreed to part with this quartet of cards from "The Empire Strikes Back":

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.

Number of trades completed: 189 (2 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 65

Number of cards mailed out: 857
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,260
Year of oldest card received: 1890
