When I started these Remnant posts, the goal was to cycle out some cards that have been in the Time Travel Trade stack for awhile and were unlikely to ever get traded. It's gone quite well I think. Even after switching things up and showing 5 trades each month, I'm still going though cards that have been in the project since 2022! A secondary goal was obviously lower the total number of cards in the box and keep things manageable. In this regard I've definitely made progress: As of December 2025 there were 906 cards in the stack. Prior to Monday's post, that number was down to 897. A small decrease but a decrease nonetheless. Of course now that I received a generous donation from Jon (formerly of A Penney Sleeve For Your Thoughts) that total currently stands at 935. It'll be interesting to see if I finish 2026 with more or less cards than I did at the end of 2025. Here's to the hope of getting back under 900!

When I get big trades in like this one from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor), I always hope that most if not all will move on to other collectors. Out of the 24 cards he sent, only 2 remained. That's a 92% success rate - not too shabby!

It's also interesting when I get a batch of cards from one set and seeing how those cards get distributed. The bulk of this trade from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) came from the 1979 Topps football set. 3 different trades removed all of those football cards except Mr. Jackson here.
Trade #195 Greg Gay (Night Owl Cards) 
Traded 08/26/22: 1969 Topps #80 Norm Cash, 1975 Topps #41 Cesar Geronimo, 1978 O-Pee-Chee #31 Roy Howell

Of course not all trades have great success rates, especially if the quantity is small. These cards from Greg (Night Owl Cards) are still kicking around. More cards should have trees in the background, just saying...
These cards will enter my personal collection if unwanted and unclaimed by June's Remnants post. You know what to do!
