I did not plan this well. Scheduling my Time Travel Trading post 5 days after the release of 2026 Topps base set did not leave me with much time to add my traditional pack to the stack. Wal-Mart has been a wasteland of late, and my local LCS ran out before I was able to get there. Fortunately, Target had their display full of 2026 Topps! I can't remember the last time I saw so many packs and boxes locally! I guess Target needs to be my go to place from now on! That being said, I grabbed my box of beautiful new cardboard and set the first pack aside for you lovely people:
Small tangent to rant here: Topps/Fanatics has lowered the number of packs in the boxes from 7 to 6. It wasn't that many years ago that you got 7 packs of 14 cards plus some bonus relic/patch. Now it's 6 packs of 12 cards.
As far as trades go, only 3 today. The big snowstorm played a factor I'm sure, as I do have some trades that I'm still waiting on. Also a heads up - I have a few cards that have been claimed, but the other people are having me hold off from shipping out for one reason or another. For now, I've marked those cards in the list as pending.
Alright, tangents and clerical notifications are done. Let's see what cards these trades have brought in!
Another new collector has joined the Time Travel Trading fraternity! TCDB member and fellow namesake Matthew made his first trade with me, and sent along a nice selection of cards:
Next is Greg (Night Owl Cards) who picked up a trio of eclectic cards and sent some north of the border baseball and a 70's football:
Finally, a personal swap. I received another TCDB trade where someone offered multiple cards from my want list in exchange for a single card from the TTT stack. I humbly offer this underappreciated gem in its place:
My thanks to Matt and Greg for the trades! Just think, by the time next month's Time Travel post goes up, we'll be days away from Opening Day!
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: 413
Unique trading partners: 92
Number of cards mailed out: 2,166
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 3,135
Year of oldest card received: 1890








I'd love to trade for the 2026 Topps Bubba Chandler and the Stars of MLB Misiorowski
ReplyDeleteOK, I shouldn't do this but I am:
ReplyDeleteI'll trade for the 2026 spring training parallel Mookie Betts and the Dodgers Duo card.
Alright, in addition to the 1925 Whippet, I'm going to take you up on the 5 for 1 that you offered on this card and claim these:
ReplyDelete48 Bowman football - Governali
51 Topps - Mitchell
51 Bowman - Edwards
76 Shakey's - Appling (found on your TCDB, let me know if not available)
I'll send one older than the Whippet card and a variety of others from various years if this works. Thanks!
