Another month, another nice Time Travel Trade with Diamond Jesters.
The only vintage card here is the bicentennial Boog. The Tasker card is over 30 years old though, hard as it is to believe. The two Red Sox are masquerading as vintage cards but are from 2019 and 2021, respectively.
I enjoyed mailing this particular set of cards out to you, because I have a connection to each card. The Red Sox cards are obvious, as they're my favorite team. I grew up in WNY when Tasker's Bills were at their franchise peak, and Powell..well let's just say Boog blew me off for an auto request by lying and saying he was Boog Jr! I got your return cards by the way - thanks!
I sure hope Topps Heritage can give us one set where the Red Sox players aren't posing by the bushes.
It is amazing to think that the Tasker card is 30 years old. I must have spent way too much time with my early '90s football cards. Doesn't feel all that long ago except when you realize how old many of those players are - and how many have already passed away (Junior Seau, Derrick Thomas, Reggie White, etc.)

That Boog is one of my favorites from the '76 set.
