Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 196th - 200th Trades


It's time to clear some more space out of the old Time Travel Trading box! Lots of 70's vintage in this post, including a Hall of Famer! Let's see who needs rescuing...
 
Traded 08/30/22: 1969 Topps - Deckle Edge #13 Mel Stottlemyre, 1973 Topps #4 John Milner, 1973 Topps #85 Ted Simmons, 1974 Topps - Team Checklists #NNO Los Angeles Dodgers (CL, VAR)

Received 09/17/22:
  • 1973 Topps #243 California Angels (TC)
  • 1972 Topps #10 Amos Otis (See Trade #233)
  • 1972 Topps #34 Billy Martin (IA) (See Trade #349)
  • 1968 Topps #493 Jim McGlothlin

Most of the time, team cards do well here. I'm a little surprised this off-center Angels team lasted as long as it has. Former Angel McGlothlin, who had moved on to Cincinnati by the time the team photo was taken, also remains.

Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) sent a lot of great cards in this trade, yet a handful have fallen through the cracks. Weird to think the last real Expos game was 22 years ago...

A couple of 1972 Topps are all that remain from this trade with Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). I doubt you will find a greater discrepancy in eyebrow sizes than between these two fine gents...

I'm not going to lie, the fact a Reggie Jackson card has languished for so long perplexes me. Sure the card itself has seen better days, but it's still a Reggie in Oakland gold and green! Can't say I'll be disappointed if this one ends up with my '74's.

One last one, courtesy of Greg (Night Owl Cards). Personally I loved this show growing up, but never had any of the cards when they were released. It's going to be tough to move this one.Most people on the TCDB with this card in their want list haven't logged in recently enough to be worth sending a trade offer to. Perhaps a reader here will take a truck in mid-flip off my hands?
 
Last call for these cards! Just offer something older!
