Time Travel Trading Update #70

 
When we last left off, I was 5 trades away from that magical number of 200. Guess how many trades I Agreed to since then? 5! Guess how many have been completed? 4! Doh!
 
Trade #196 came via Hal, a repeat time trader on the TCDB. Hal's cards actually came in a few days before the last Time Travel Trading Update, so I didn't have time to include them then. No matter, because I get to include them now!

We follow this up with trade #197, courtesy of Brendan (The View From The Third Floor). Brendan picked up a quartet of football cards and sent along much, much more:


The honor of trade #198 goes to Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) An interesting variety of cards went out to him, and an interesting variety of cards came back!
 


Our penultimate trade #199 was completed by Jon (A Penny Sleeve For Your Thoughts). In exchange for a couple of football cards, he contributed a couple of Hall of Famers to the stack:
If your familiar with who my regular traders are, you might be able to guess who Trade #200 will eventually be. However, since I don't have his cards yet, we have a potential plot twist! It's entirely possible that someone could complete a trade before the postal service delivers the cards from this particular person. Could you be the one to come out of nowhere and snatch victory? Only one way to find out!

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: 199 (1 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 65

Number of cards mailed out: 910
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,347
Year of oldest card received: 1890

  2. The 200th trade has officially been completed! Congrats to Night Owl, who I gave the choice of picking any unclaimed card now or get a sneak peek at whatever comes in before next month's update.

  3. I'll claim the Stadium Club Beltre, and the eight football cards sent by Brendan. Thanks!

    1. The Beltre was claimed in a TCDB proposal yesterday, but the football cards are yours!

    2. I realize I only sent you seven - I think mentally I subtracted one of the football cards as well as the Beltre. I'll owe you a card for next time. Thanks!
