Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 92nd, 93rd And 94th Trades Yes, I'm showing off cards from trades this month instead of the regular two. Why three? Well, if I did my normal two, I'd only be showing off a total of two cards, and one of them probably isn't going anywhere... Trade #92 (Billy: Cardboard History) Traded 03/22/21: 1910-11 Flags of Nations (T59) (non-sport) #NNO Hurricane Warning Received 03/27/21:
Long ago, I had a neat little idea for a post where I showed off how a series of trades netted me the (at the time) oldest card in the Time Travel Trade stack. It was a neat little trade tree, and I never could of expected the post to lead to an even older card. Enter Billy (Cardboard History), who traded for that card and sent me this one. This 1890 card remains the oldest card I have ever held, let alone owned. I've repeatedly thought to myself that numerous cards would be the oldest the project would ever get, only to have that expectation surpassed, so I'm not going to say this card will always be the oldest card Time Travel Trading history, but I'd be surprised if anyone offers me a card older than this 134-year old beauty. If unclaimed, as I expect it will be, it'll remain in the stack atop the throne it deserves to be on. Note to self: You really should do another one of those swap story posts..

When I say the trade can include any older card, I mean it! That does mean I get a good amount of "junk wax" era cards, but I don't mind. Especially when it's a Red Sox legend and former personal favorite. Anyone need a Rocket? Traded

No, seriously, anyone need a Rocket? Because I have two on the chopping block today! This batch from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) also includes a Hall of Famer and two prospects, one who ended up with 7 Major League seasons under his belt, the other unfortunately never made it to "The Show". Who will rescue these cards from hobby obscurity? |
