Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 136th - 140th Trades


 
No bites last month, so I was able to add some nice vintage to my personal collection. Today's batch features more vintage cards, and hopefully I'll be able to give these cards to a good home.
 
Trade #136 Jeff (Wax Pack Wonders)
Traded 12/29/21: 1967 Topps #366 Andy Kosco, 1969 Topps #75 Luis Aparicio, 1970 Topps #278 Tommie Aaron, 1982 Topps #125 Danny Ainge
 
Received 12/27/21:
  • 1972 Topps #40 Bob Barton (IA) (See Trade #349)
  • 1972 Topps #48 John Ellis (IA) (See Trade #372)
  • 1972 Topps #54 Bud Harrelson (IA) (See Trade #355)
  • 1972 Topps #55 Clyde Wright (See Trade #349)
  • 1969 Topps #317 Bruce Look (RC)
  • 1968 Topps #217 Turk Farrell
  • 1966 Topps #76 Red Schoendienst (MGR) (See Trade #215)
 
 
Jeff (formerly of Wax Pack Wonders) generously gave back more cards than he received, and although it took some time I was able to trade away all but these two 60's cards. This is Bruce Look's only playing card (not including buyback-stamped ones), while Farrell is a 5 time All-Star.

Trade #137 - No Remnants!

No one has made more Time Travel Trades than Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). This was one of our bigger trades, so it's not entirely surprising there's a remnant or two. Wynn ended up being an excellent acquisition by the Dodgers, making the All-Star team in each of his two years. Chiles and Oliver may not have been All-Stars, but both enjoyed a solid big league career. Don't let those 2 League Leader cards fool you - despite coming in second to Lolich in wins and strikeouts, Blue took home not only the Cy Young Award but the MVP Award in 1971! 
 
Trade #139 - No Remnants!
 
Trade #140  - No Remnants!

These 7 cards will join my collection if no one claims them by the next trade update. All it takes is an older card!
