Time Travel Trading Update #69

  
With 6 new trades to show off this month (plus 1 that just missed the cut for today by coming in Saturday), it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll be showing off the 200th Time Travel Trade in October! Who gets the illustrious honor? We'll find out soon enough! Remember, I'm giving away any card in the trade stack as a prize! Maybe these new cards will still be around for you to pick from, maybe they won't...
 
We start things off with a trio of cards from Greg (Night Owl Cards).  He picked up some Post Cereal oddballs and sent along some nice 90's cards:

Miami Beach has to be one of the better backgrounds in the 1993 Leaf set, doesn't it?

Next trade in came via the TCDB. Mark becomes the 1st TCDB member (non-blogger division) to reach the 5 Trade mark here at Time Travel Trading. Football season is upon us!

I always enjoy it when cards outside of the major sports leagues make their way in the stack. I'm curious if these Marvel cards will go quickly or not. I think there are plenty of collectors who enjoy the superhero genre, and these cards are quite nice, even if these two aren't among the more well known characters.

Get comfy, because it's going to take awhile to show off all of the cards Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) sent me in our latest trade. 

We'll kick it off with the big get, an autograph from this year's Opening Day set:

Followed by a nice handful of inserts:

More 1993 Leaf (plus some others):

And lastly a selection of cards over 30 years old!

Another repeat TCDB trader, Abraham, sent along these fine cards:


Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) snatched those Star Wars cards up from last month. As I said before, you can tell football season is upon us, as I tend to get more football cards this time of year:

What's that? Another batch of cards from Greg (Night Owl Cards)? You bet! While Greg showed off his trio of cards in a parade of pyramids, I choose to line them up all nice and neat (well, except when I'm showing the backs of course..)

Over 50 new cards for your entertainment and pleasure!
 
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: 195 (1 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 65

Number of cards mailed out: 885
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,311
Year of oldest card received: 1890
