Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 39th and 41st Trades
It's time to pick up the pace a bit. I've been toying with showing off multiple trade remnants for awhile now, and I think it's time to do it regularly. I just don't like showing off a single card, especially since my goal is to cull unwanted cards from the trade stack. This month we have 6 vintage cards on the block. Last call to trade for them, or they'll be added to my personal collection!
Trade #39 (Gavin: Baseball Card Breakdown)
Traded: 1970 Topps #47 Bob Miller, 1970 Topps #56 Phillies Rookies - Joe Lis/Scott Reid (RC), 1970 Topps #103 Frank Reberger, 1972 Topps #109 Jerry May, 1975 Topps #220 Don Sutton, 1977 Topps #524 Rowland Office, 1978 Topps #63 Don Zimmer (MGR), 1978 Topps #131 Bert Blyleven

These cards are from my 2nd trade with Gavin (Baseball Card Breakdown). He sent me a lot of great vintage cards, and I'm genuinely surprised that so many from this trade are still left!
The next trade come courtesy of TCDB super-member Mark Z. This was a great package of cards, highlighted by the 1960 KC Athletics team card. That one went quick, but one lone card remained.
Trade #41(Mark Z: TCDB)
Traded 07/12/19: 1961-62 Fleer (basketball) #32 Willie Naulls, 1972 Kellogg's All Time Greats #1 Walter Johnson , 1972 Topps #437 Maury Wills, 1972 Topps #450 Mickey Lolich

Ironically, this very card was mentioned in the comments as one of interest. It's still here if you want it Chris!
So, to recap, these cards will get pulled from the Time Travel Trade stack and added to my collection unless someone offers up a trade for them before the next official update. The clock starts now!

Repack Haiku #320 (Mookie Wilson)
Uncle to Preston
Married bro's baby mama
Step-dad to Preston
You didn't think I was going to talk about him and Bill Buckner, did you? No, this is more fascinating. Mookie's brother is the father of former All-Star Preston Wilson. Mookie eventually ended up marrying Preston's mother, thus becoming both his uncle and step-father.

Time Travel Trading Update #80
4...3...2...1!
4 Trade partners featured today. The 3 pending trades I was expecting came in, and 2 new one join them. That makes for 1 great Time Travel post!
I'll start things off with a trade from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!), whose cards came in a few days before the last update. I didn't have time to show them off then, so you get to see them now! In exchange for a couple of 2000 Upper Deck, Bo graciously added a half-dozen cards from 1977:
I am grateful to all of my trade partners, especially my regulars! This project wouldn't be much without you!
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: 264
Unique trading partners: 71
Number of cards mailed out: 1,438
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 2,138
Year of oldest card received: 1890
