Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

In 2018, I had an idea to take the first pack I bought from the Topps base set and see if I could trade the cards for older cards, and continue to trade and see how old of a card I could end up with. It's still going strong, and has been an incredible success. You can read the latest update on my blog here: Update #38

Like last year, I'm once again planning on giving the project a little jolt by including a pack of next month's base set release. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I just completed by 50th Time Travel Trade and now some great football vintage is in the stack. To keep this going, I need trade partners. Anything listed here below is available to trade with the only prerequisite being that I get a card older than what I'm sending out! You can also find the cards available in a seperate collection on my profile. If you need to see the condition of the card, click on the link for each name and it'll take you to the appropraite blog post.

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: 50!
Unique trading partners: 31

Number of cards mailed out: 146
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1956

Number of cards received: 326
Year of oldest card received: 1915

I've always loved this feature on your blog! I know I was one of the first traders for this project, although can't remember the deal we made at the time.

Might want to edit the spelling of your subject line if you can

I'm glad to see you continuing this tradition.  Every time I see something I'm interested in, somebody just snags it before I can.  But that's cool.  I hope one day to get a trade in with you.

thelostcollector - You sent me a lot of great cards for a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! - https://diamond-jesters.blogspot.com/2018/03/time-travel-trading-update-8.html

UKboogie - Doh! Nice catch there. Unfortunately I don't see a way to fix it.

jupiterhill - Keep watching! I know we'll match up on a trade someday soon!

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: 53
Unique trading partners: 32

Number of cards mailed out: 181
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1956

Number of cards rec

Update #41

The project lives on, even if I'm not expecting a lot of trades until this pandemic finishes up. Instead of copying/pasting the entire list of available cards, I'm just going to list the new ones in this update. The full list can be viewed on my blog. If you're interested in any of the cards, all it takes for the trade is a card older than what I'm giving up. With that being said, here's what's new to the list:

1990 Fleer

#629 Jose Canseco (POD)

1969 Topps - Deckle Edge

#13 Mel Stottlemyer

1963 Topps

#265 Vida Pinson

1954 Bowman Power For Peace (non-sport)

#91 USS Coral Sea (CVB43)

Make me an offer!
