Surprisingly long history of Traded cards
I had a lot of fun writing this article. I'm wondering if the N54 members here have any other sets/cards to nominate for inclusion.
https://jasoncards.wordpress.com/201...-traded-cards/ Thanks so much! Jason |
Haven't read it yet, but just discovered your site. Wow...can tell you I will be spending a lot of time there.
|
Too kind! Thank you very much.

I appreciate it. And LMK if you know other sets I should add.

Good stuff!!!!
Not only Nolan Ryan, as you mentioned, but I have always been crushed that Topps didn't put a 'Willie Mays Traded to my Mets' high number card in the '72 set. What an opportunity lost. |
You are so right about Mays! I'm going to add that one to the section as another one that might have been.

I really enjoyed your article and can see you had fun writing this! There's something about traded cards that have always attracted my attention as well. I think its some simple pleasure that we derive as kids playing games like "spot the difference" and things like that. Here are a few more for your consideration.
-1933 Eclipse Import Glenn Myatt - pictured with the Athletics and then with a lazy transfer to the Indians (lets just throw "Cleveland" on his uniform and call it a day) -1947-66 Exhibits Herb Score - pictured as an Indian, and then with cap emblem removed, no doubt to commemorate his move to Chicago -1956 Big League Star Statues Larry Doby - pictured as an Indian on both, but the team has switched from Cleveland to Chicago. At least this one contains some extra text regarding the trade. Also, with regard to your Orestes Minoso example, I have always considered both cards to depict him with the White Sox, with the "C" cap just being an alternate/different year cap for the team. |

Great article, and MUCH more in depth that I anticipated!
Do you consider the 1959 Cards that have variations w/ and w/o traded (or Optioned) statements traded cards? https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images.../43-336aBk.jpg https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images.../43-336bBk.jpg |

59s are the only ones I recall...there are only a handful
316 - Ralph Lumenti (Optioned statement) 321 - Bob Giallombardo (Optioned Statement) 322 - Harry Hanebrink (Trade Statement) 336 - Billy Loes (Trade Statement) 362 - Dolan Nichols (Optioned Statement) |
I will definitely add this! Kinda reminds me of when I first got this card from a pack...

The traded/optioned stuff on the back of cards happened in 1966 and 1967, too.

This is a copy and paste of 1966 and 1967 cards from my variations spreadsheet. In case the tabs get all wacky, it lists the 2 different versions of each:
1966 62 Ranew sold statement no sold statement 1966 91 Uecker "Bob was traded to Phillies, October 27, 1965." no trade statement 1966 103 Groat trade statement no trade statement 1966 104 Johnson trade statement no trade statement 1967 26 Priddy trade statement no trade statement 1967 86 McCormick trade statement no trade statement |

Guys, thanks to the trail you put me on I also found the "traded line" style variations actually pre-date Topps and were part of the 1955 Bowman set! Just one player, but here it is...

And 1954 Bowman Vic Raschi and Dave Philley

And holy smokes, Topps takes it all the way back to 1951!
Attachment 339645 BTW, the article has been revised significantly thanks to all these additions. Link re-posted here in case you're interested in the latest... https://jasoncards.wordpress.com/201...-traded-cards/ |

If you have to add all of the suggestions so far, the length of your story is going to make "War and Peace" look like only a pamphlet. :D

T206 has Lundgren with both Chicago and Kansas City. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5456e3c371.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e011fcf1de.jpg

Thanks. I'm generally just showing one example per set and I already had Dahlen for T206. I'm guessing from your sig line that those Lundgrens are your actual cards...DAMN!! That Chicago one is gorgeous!

Thanks for recognizing and giving props to my trivia question in your article.
