Time Travel Trading Update #81

 
We've got a relatively short update this week - only 3 trades. That doesn't mean the cards are any less impressive though!
 
We'll start things off with a trio of cards from Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders). He sent an All-Star card featuring a Hall of Fame catcher, plus two great oddballs:

I feel sorry for Brewers collectors. Those Police Dept cards, which were apparently tailored to dozens of different cities, must be a challenge to collect! This particular department wasn't even listed in the TCDB when I went to add it. 

My monthly trade with Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) came in next:
 
As always, there's some great vintage baseball here, along with a lone football card.

Speaking of football, I've noticed that when football season starts up, I see an increase in football cards getting both sent and received. Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) kicks off the new season in earnest with a dozen great 80's cards.

That's all for today, although one more trade is incoming! Thanks as always to the many awesome collectors who help keep this project flourishing!
 
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: 265
Unique trading partners: 71

Number of cards mailed out: 1,448
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,150
Year of oldest card received: 1890

  2. I collect Turner Ward and he's got three years of police cards with the Brewers. I get excited when I come across a new one, but usually by that time another 3 have been discovered.

  3. I think I still need to send cards from the last time, so I'll sit this one out.
