First order of business: I want to thank everyone who commented regarding my inquiry about card backs. For now, I've decided to keep them. I've had a few TCDB trades recently where having it was helpful to direct a potential partner to a blog post where the card condition is already documented. It has made things easier in that regard. Thanks again for the opinions!
I have a whopping 8 trades to show off today, and 3 more still pending! That's a lot of card turnover, which is a good thing!
Let's go!
Greg (Night Owl Cards) kicks things off with a nice variety of food issue, football, and fairly old cards! (It took me a lot longer than I care to admit to get that last "f" alliteration...)
We've got even more football, courtesy of Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!)
Next we have a trade Jeff (formerly of Wax Pack Wonders) with a half-dozen cards spanning 62 years!
Awhile back, I had a 1955 Bowman football card among the Time Travel Trading remnants. I went searching for on the TCDB for a trade partner, and went back to the well with a trader named Bob. The resulting trade didn't include that particular card, but the vintage I did send him netted me some great cards:
Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) made his monthly trade, and as usual sent some great cards that I'm sure will draw some interest! The Marshall Faulk promo was particularly interesting, as I couldn't find it on the TCDB. I found the non-gold version of the promo card, but this one wasn't listed. Turns out the checklist was erroneous and there are actually 2 different promos - one gold, one not. Either way, the checklist got fixed thanks to one of the many great volunteers at that website.
Speaking of the TCDB, our next trade comes from a member named Rick. I was able to help him with some set build needs, and got some more 70's cards in return:
Dominic (Don Cardwell Loves This Blog) picked up a single card last month, and his resulting blog post will amke you want to root for a certain Tigers All-Star. Here's hoping Dominic goes green for Greene!
Finally we have another TCDB member, Evan, making his second Time Travel Trade.
I just had to laugh when I saw the 1970 Topps Carlos May. This is the third copy currently in the trade stack, and the fourth or fifth to have graced the project overall. Some cards just keep showing up, and this is one of them!
With Evan's trade, I'm at 374 completed trades, and as I said earlier I have three more already pending for next month. That means that we are rapidly approaching the 400th Time Travel Trade, and just like the 200th and 300th trades, I will award that trade partner a Time Travel card of their choosing! Now's the time to get trades in and hopefully be that lucky #400!
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: 374
Unique trading partners: 89
Number of cards mailed out: 1,984
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 2,857
Year of oldest card received: 1890
Just the '89 Pro Set Bill Parcells for me this time. TCDB trade coming shortly. Thanks!
