Time Travel Trading Update #76

 
I have to be honest - I just can't think of anything worthwhile to open this month's update with, so I'm going to just jump right to all the new trades! Sound good? Let's roll..
 
Leading off is a small trade with TCDB member and frequent trader Ken C. Ken's cards just missed the cutoff for being featured in last month's update, but I'm more than happy to show them off here!

Also just missing the cutoff was my return from a trade with Jon (A Penny Sleeve For Your Thoughts). The last time Jon and I traded, he included some sharp-looking boxing cards from 1938. Jon was generous enough to add a couple more of these probable gangsters boxing personalities to the list. It amazes me how many pre-WWII era cards I have in this stack.

Do you know what this trade stack has been lacking? Stickers! Thanks to Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders), that's no longer a problem! Among this variety of Hall of Famers, vintage, and minor league oddballs were stickers from both Topps and Fleer!

Batting cleanup is heavy-hitter Ken H., who has this habit of sending me multiple PWE and making our trades a little lopsided on the quantity front. Every envelope was packed with great stuff as always.
 
Hey look, another sticker! One of the PWE was nothing but 1979 Topps. (Just a heads up, I already claimed that Jerry Remy card! You'll see what I swapped it out with soon.)
 
Lately there has been a boost in the amount of football cards added, and Ken continues with some nice looking cards!


Chris (The Collector) has been revisiting one of his great blog series, where he puts together every team's ultimate roster. It's worth reading if you aren't already. Meanwhile, Chris and I completed a nice little trade. Will any of these guys make an all-time roster? You'll have to read to find out!


Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) is another heavy hitter who made a big trade this past month. Football cards continue to be the theme with this latest return (along with one baseball manager!)
 


TCDB superstar Mark Z delivered what is probably one of the most diverse package of cards I've ever gotten. We have representation from four different sports, plus a beloved movie and dinosaurs!

 
Tom (The Angels In Order) gets the record for the "smallest" trade. He claimed one of the 1969 football minis, and sent back a quartet of cards in return.


We'll end things today with a personal swap I did. In addition to claiming the above 1979 Topps Jerry Remy card, I also had an opportunity for a TCDB trade that required trading a 1998 Pinnacle Andruw Jones card that had been floating for awhile. I humbly offer these cards as replacements:

Thanks again to all my amazing trade partners!
 
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: 244 (1 pending)
Unique trading partners: 70

Number of cards mailed out: 1,288
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 1,922
Year of oldest card received: 1890
