My time machine is almost done!!!!!
 
Posted By: <b>sean</b><p>Its been 15 years in the making but its almost done. My assistant successfully traveled back in time for 5 seconds. Its a matter of time (no pun intended) before I get the kinks out and am on my way. <br />My plan is to hoard up all the pre ww2 cards I can get and than give them away on here. The idea is to cause a baseball card crash making their worth plumit and thus affordable to all of us who collect for the fun of it. Or at the very least, will put coach's corner outta business.<br />any thoughts?

Posted By: <b>Bill Stone</b><p>Please stop in 1910 and pick up a handful of Casey Stengel and Joe Jackson T-210s --I can't seem to win one at auction so this might be the answer to my problem. Congratulations.

Posted By: <b>jeffdrum</b><p>You may want to make sure Hal is done playing before you grab his cup! There can be some hot shots down that first base line! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I should have clarified....<br />I want the cup (or trophy) pictured in the T206.<br /><br />Not the one that protected his manhood.<br /><br /><br /><br />If I get that trophy (safer to use the word trophy now especially for this next sentence)...<br />I would bring it to any NY Dinner and use it to drink out of -<br />Would love to see Jeff L.'s face if I did that!<br />

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Target the factories that made the cards, and bring back an example of a sheet or strip for each set. I bet most were made by only a few printing houses, so you should be able to do this in only a few stops.<br /><br />Stop into a few candy stores or 5/10's and grab one of every candy box they have or any cards out on the counter. Maybe we'll see where the E101's, E102's, etc came from.<br /><br />While you're at it, knock on a door in Louisiana and another in Michigan and ask the residents where the Tango Egg and Herp's cards came from. <br /><br />And every HOF'er card you can get your hands on - a nice market crash may be the only way I can get many of them.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>Will the cards you grab that are currently in people's collections right now cause them to disappear in today's world? In that case they will need to rebuy and the market won't crash.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I have an 1854 $5 gold piece. I'd like for you to take that back to May, 1915. Bet it to win on Regret in the Kentucky Derby. Take the winnings and order me as many of those 25 cent sets of 176 1915 Cracker Jack cards as you can... keep the change.<br /><br />With those, I could sell a few next month and have cash for buying the other cards I'd want. That way you don't have to hunt around for them. Put a couple of dollars on Regret, yourself. But don't bet him so hard you screw up the odds, please.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Frank.

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>like Joann mentioned, hit the printers shops, and run off a few more T206 Wagners, then make off with a stack of uncut sheets...but bring me back 25-30 or so of the Lajoie w/bat!<br /><br />Also, if you could stop off and grab Shoeless Joe's attention after a game in 1918, and try to explain that if he goes along with the fix the next year, that there will be a century's worth of disappointed fans.<br /><br />make sure to lift pristine T200s off the printing presses too!<br /><br />there's so much more, but that's enough for now!<br />Thanks,<br />Jason L

Posted By: <b>sean</b><p>Well first, If I buy them then they will disappear. However you will never know oyu had the card because you will of never had it in the first place because I would have got them 80 years ago+. However, I will find out what everyone likes and send you 100 card lots to make everyone happy. Hopefully all value will go down thus weeding out the "Sellers" and making us "collectors" very happy. Not that there is anything wrong with sellers but wouldnt it be so much better to do this for fun?<br />Regarding the hal chase trophy, I just picked up two bios on him to find out when he gets it. I plan to go back, tell em who to bet on in the next game in return for the trophy. I plan on etting a lot of autographs too so whomever wants something sepcific, please let me know. I plan on finishing off my 33 goudey set (I need 80 more).<br />
