Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 38th Trade

 

Just a single card on the chopping block today. This card comes from Eric of the now defunct Old Red Sox Cards blog (I believe he's still around on other media platforms.) Out of the 5 Twins cards he sent me, only one remains.

 

Trade #38 (Eric: Old Red Sox Cards)
Traded 07/12/19: 1970 Topps (football) #135 Paul Warfield, 1970-71 Topps (basketball) #16 Bob Weiss, 1971 Topps #290 Tony Oliva, 1971 Topps #385 Maury Wills

Received 07/13/19:

• 1970 Topps #47 Bob Miller
• 1968 Topps #44 Frank Kostro (See Trade #124)
• 1968 Topps #181 Jerry Zimmerman (See Trade #124)
• 1967 Topps #15 Earl Battey (See Trade #43)
• 1967 Topps #366 Andy Kosco (See Trade #136)

Re-reading my write up that this trade was featured in reminded me of a little quirk with this card. I had a traded a copy of this card in the trade prior, only to receive another copy so shortly after! As of today, I now have two copies of this card in the stack, making it twice as unlikely that someone will trade for it now.

 

Miller is pictured slightly off-center. I can only assume the reason is to show off that house in the background, not that anyone wants to see Bob or his teammates...

Same rules as always! he's yours for an older card in return. Otherwise, he ends up in my collection as a double no less!
