Welcome once again to this month's edition of "The Side Project Collection That Is Slowly Taking Over All The Time I Used To Spend On My Real Collction". Okay, not really. Maybe just a little. The Time travel Project just keeps growing and growing! With these featured cards, the collection has reached 750 cards. I started with a small box to keep them all in, and recently had to move them to something bigger. I can't help but wonder if I'll ever reach a limit where it becomes too much. Don't worry, I'm no where near that limit yet.
On to the trades!
Trade #1 comes from A.J. (formerly of The Lost Collector). In addition to baseball, the hockey and basketball portions of the trade stack get a nice little boost:
Up next, we have the first of two from Greg (Night Owl Cards). Greg picked up a trio of 80's cards, including one for his near complete 1988 Donruss set. In return, I get three B's - Brye, Braun, and a Big hitter!
Chris (The Collector) chimes in with his latest Time Travel Trade! He hits all four major sports in this one:
The largest trade of the month come from none other than Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). Of special note, this is the 40th Time Travel Trade Bo and I have completed! If you've done a Time Travel Trade, there's a sizable chance you have a card Bo initially sent me.
This time around, Bo sends a handful of 1997 Fleer:
Along with some football and wood grained bordered cards!
New Trade Partner alert! I made a trade through the TCDB with a guy named Walter. It was a small two card trade, but I got two great looking cards out of it!
We wrap things up with our second trade with Greg (Night Owl Cards). Another trio of cards (one of which wasn't an 80's card!) goes to NY, with three great cards coming back to me:
Thanks again to all of my wonderful trade partners! You guys keep this project fun!
Random thing I noticed while writing this post: There are three Athletics cards featured - one from their Philadelphia days (Roger Cramer), one from Kansas City (Bill Renna), and one from Oakland (the recently departed Vida Blue). I wonder when we'll get our first Las Vegas one?
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: 252
Unique trading partners: 71
Number of cards mailed out: 1,330
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 1,981
Year of oldest card received: 1890
