First things first: if you haven't gone to Nachos Grande and voted for his End-of-Year Awards, do it now! Voting ends soon, and this very Time Travel Trading series is up for Favorite Blog Series! (I didn't vote for myself, but I'm not above shamelessly promoting myself to you fine people!) Go vote!
Now that I've made that proclamation, on to the good stuff. We have a nice rebound from last time, when I only had two trades to show off. I've got 6 this for you today!
We'll start off with a great trade from Tom (The Angels In Order). He picked up a couple of 1961 Topps crads, and sent a variety of cards in return. And yes, that is ALF in a cowboy hat amongst the athletes!
I started up the Trapped In Time sub-series with the hopes that I could find homes for cards that have spent 3+ years in the stack. It makes me happy when I can send one out, like when Dominic (Don Cardwell Loves This Blog) rescued a 1966 Topps card from purgatory.
Speaking of remnant cards, non-sports cards can be pretty hit or miss in the trade stack. I had a trio of A-Team cards in the Trapped In Time series awhile back, and spent some time on the TCDB trying to find a home for them as well. That led me to a trade with a member named Chris. I was able to pass on those cards, as well as some other non-sports cards from the stack, in exchange for some baseball cards that I hope will interest someone.
My other monthly stalwart, Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) took last month's lack of trades as a personal challenge, and included a fantastic and eclectic mix of cards to tempt some of you into making more trades!
One more trade that came in just under the wire, this time from another TCDB member named Joseph. He requested a couple of cards, and I was able to pick these two out as my return:
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: 335
Unique trading partners: 82
Number of cards mailed out: 1,789
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 2,596
Year of oldest card received: 1890
Can I claim the '60 Bob Schmidt and '72 Solters for now? Glad to see all the activity this month!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
OK, let's see what I can dig up: I'll claim the '57 Del Crandall, '65 Bob Tiefenauer, '68 Woody Fryman and '90 Pacific Sr. League Rich Gale.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
