Time Travel Trading Update #90

 
First of all, to all you fathers out there, I hope you had a great Father's Day yesterday! 

We've got 6 trades to show off this week! That means plenty of new cards for you readers to claim.
 
We kick things off with one of the most prominent time travelers from the TCDB, Mark Z! We completed out 10th Time Travel Trade, and he sent a fantastic variety of cards, staring off with a couple of race car drivers:

 
As well as some vintage football:

Of course there's baseball too!

Jim (Cards As I See Them) is up next. He claimed a 1955 Bowman, and sent back a couple of cards that had over 70 years in age between them!

It wouldn't be a proper Time Travel Trading Update without cards from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) Thanks to my latest trade with him, I have a trio of 1978 Topps to add to the stack:
 

The winner of the 300th Time Travel Trade, Brendan Hart (The View From The Third Floor), picked a fantastic card for his prize, and the follow up trade doesn't disappoint either!
 
New Time Traveler Alert! Dominic, who started up a great new blog this year (Don Cardwell Loves This Blog), joins the club with our first of hopefully many trades!

(Seriously, give his blog a follow if you haven't already!)

When I do one of my Time Travel Remnant posts, I will occasionally feature cards that quite honestly don't fit my collection. When that happens, I'll hop on the TCDB and look to see who has that particular card on their want lists. A while back I had put a basketball card on the chopping block, and fortunately found a trade partner (another member also named Mark)! There were a few other cards in the stack I was able to send his way, and in return I picked up some great 70's baseball.

 
My thanks to all my trade partners, long-time and new! Here's hoping these cards generate some more great trades!
 
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: 306
Unique trading partners: 77

Number of cards mailed out: 1,654
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11

Number of cards received: 2,412
Year of oldest card received: 1890
