Time Travel Trading Update #71

 
It's official! 200 Time Travel Trades! I'll be honest, I'm still awed by this. I never thought this little project would get to this point, but here we are!
 
The honor of Trade #200 goes to none other than Greg (Night Owl Cards). As it turns out, I received his cards the same day last month's update was published! As his prize, he got a sneak peak at all these new cards and was able to claim one for himself. As for those cards that came in, we've got a nice variety:
 
It's always cool to see a vintage Buffalo Bill, and I know that Kellogg's card won't last long here!

Our next trade is from a blogger making his first Time Travel Trade! John (Adventures Of A Baseball Card Collector) dove in and claimed some vintage and a few Yankees. The group of cards he sent back spanned 65 years!

Those flowers have fantastic color for something produced in 1939!

TCDB member Abraham came back to time travel again with small little 2 card trade, adding some 1995 Topps to the mix:

Those bottom two cards are from a couple of personal swaps I did. I had a TCDB trade offer for a Sportflics cards that had been here for awhile, so I swapped it out for Jim Morrison. The Super Bowl card is the replacement for a card you'll see later on.

Monthly time traveler Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) picked up 5 cards from the stack and sent back a starter lot of 1981 Donruss

Along with some older goodies:



Long time blog reader Alan made another trade this past month as well, almost tripling the number of 1975 Topps cards in the stack. Gotta love that 1956 card as well!

Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) took some football cards this go-around, and sent along some of the 1990's notable players, along with another 1969 playing card:

Finally, we have another TCDB with Mark Z. Anyone collect dinosaur cards?
 

The 1988 Topps UK Mini was the other personal swap that I made. It's a set I'm close to finishing, and  Tony Gwynn was one of the cards I needed. Oh, and if you're eyeing that '65 Diego Segui, sorry but that was the card Night Owl picked for his prize!

We're well on our way to 300 trades! Thanks to everyone who's come along on this journey so far!
 
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: 208 (1 pending)
Unique trading partners: 66

Number of cards mailed out: 958
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,407
Year of oldest card received: 1890

  1. I might be interested in the Camilo Pascual. Is it possible to leave it aside for now while I look to see what I can offer?

  2. That '65 Segui is sharp! I'm not surprised it was claimed immediately.

    Congrats on (over) 200 time travel trades!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Quite the milestone. I'm not surprised, this series is addicting. It should be more popular. ... Thanks for the Segui prize!

    I'll claim the '84 Topps glossy Chet Lemon and '90 Fleer all-stars Harold Baines. I'll also claim the '76 football Pritchard and the '74 Topps Mario Guerrero.

  8. Hi Matt, I've got a bunch from your Red Sox lists and I'd like to claim the 78 Hough, NLCS, and Checklist please. I will add a few older ones. Please email me at QAPLAGCA at Yahoo dotcom. My computer's Norton keeps blocking your site (and many other blogs) so I have to use my phone 4 this and I hate it. Email is much easier
