Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 34th Trade

 

Just like a card featured in this series previously, the cards featured today are from a trade generated when I added a pack of 2019 Topps to the stack. It's been a tradition every year since, and Bo (Baseball Cards Come to Life!) has started his own tradition of picking up any cards from that pack that no one else claimed. They end up being the first cards from that year's set he gets.

From this trade we have two leftovers. Billingham is an interesting photo, with an unusual pitching contortion. There's actually two copies of this card in the stack. Oliver is a nice vintage Red Sox card that was "updated" to reflect Oliver becoming a coach shortly after his career ended in 1969. 

Unless someone wants to trade for them, these cards will join my personal collection. Last call!
