In regards to the Time Travel Trading Project, things have been crazy. Normally, I get most trade offers within a few days of the latest update. This past month however has seen a consistent stream of trade offers, including a new trade in each of the past two weeks! I've got plenty of cards to show off, but I think this may the first time I also have numerous trades still in the works. Nothing like staying busy around the holidays!
Our first completed trade comes from a guy named Mike. When I put out a last call on the 1982 O-Pee-Chee E.T. card, he was one of the few TCDB collectors that had it on his want list. We managed to make a larger trade, and now the stack has some great 80's cards added, including the iconic Gary Pettis card:
My next trade came from Ken, a TCDB member that has Time Traveled with me once before. (He's also one of the trades I have pending for next time!) He's been a fun trade partner because he targets vintage, hasn't been too concerned with condition, and offers up some great vintage in return. This time around he included some bonus cards from 1989:
But we're here for the vintage! For the first time ever, we now have baseball cards (and 1 football) from the 1940's! (OK, technically I had some cards from the 1947-66 Exhibits W461 set, but those were most likely from the 50's or 60's). They're in rough condition, but they're still amazing.
Some recent baseball cards:
Our final trade comes from none other than Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). 1974 Topps is one of the more plentiful sets in the stack, and Bo gave it a nice boost!
That's 4 trades this month, but I have 4 more already in progress for next month! That's going to be a big month for sure, so stay tuned!
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!

For now I'll just claim the '59 Sam Jones. Will think about the older ones and come back tomorrow to claim any unclaimed newer ones I'd like.
ReplyDeleteKen sounds like a guy I'd like to trade with. What is his name on TCDB?
Thanks!
How did I miss the '94 Jeter Topps Gold card? I'd like to claim it if available. Thanks!
DeleteRefraining from the older stuff for now, I'll claim these if still available:
DeleteDiamond Optic Jeffery Simmons
Score Clyde Simmons
Scoreboard Tom Brady
Pro Line John Riggins
'22 Topps Nelson Cruz
'21 Topps Josh Harrison
'21 Through the Years Fernando Tatis
'20 Bash & Burn Victor Robles
'20 Heritage Oliva/Anderson
'19 Years of Fun Ruth, Koufax, Clemente
'17 Salute Josh Reddick
Thank you! I'll make sure not to send '74 Topps this time.
Ken handle on TCDB is Musclebeech. I'm sure you two could match up on some great stuff!
DeleteAnother collector claimed the Brady, Tatis, Robles, Oliva/Anderson, and Clemente, but the rest are yours!
Deletethanks!
DeleteBig list this time for me! Thanks Matt!
