To prepare for the trip, gather a bunch of vintage money, identify the print shop where T206s were made, and then find a local cemetery that, as of today, has remained undisturbed since 1900. In fact, find a specific grave that looks undisturbed and unmaintained.
Go to the printing shop where they made T206s, give the printer an insane amount of money (maybe $50) to run off some Wagners, Planks, Doyles, and Magies for you, and, for fun, see if he can do one of the Wagners with a green background. If you really want to get clever, see if you can get a Mathewson white cap with the name mis-spelled.
If you have time, see if you can get some of the cards autographed, like Plank or Matty.
Add to that a bunch of commons, some printed ads for T206, find out the stories behind Wagner and Plank, and so on.
Seal them in a stone box with metal lining and bury them at night, a few feet below ground, but above the casket, of that grave you've identified.
Return to present day, dig up the box, and very slowly, very carefully, start leaking these treasures into the marketplace. Don't ever reveal the entire story because once you're certified insane, they might take your cards away from you...
