Time Travel Trading Update #72


 
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.

Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) came back for another trade, but mentioned in his note that this might be his last Time Travel Trade. If that's true, my second-most frequent trade partner is going out with a bang. Brendan included a lot of extra cards, including some football:

Some recent baseball cards:

As well as some older ones:

I'm not sure which is cooler - the 2 Japanese cards or the 1994 "rookie card for every guy on this card except" Derek Jeter gold card!

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!

I must admit, I kind of miss seeing the floating heads of coaches on cards.

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!

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: 212 (4 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 66

Number of cards mailed out: 986
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,474
Year of oldest card received: 1890

  1. 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.

    Ken sounds like a guy I'd like to trade with. What is his name on TCDB?

    Thanks!
