Say you had a time machine...

Or just go back to 1986 and buy up unopened Fleer basketball. Then you don't have to worry about aging, the supply, or your hoard drastically affecting the value of the market as a whole...or just wait for the powerball this weekend and go back a day.

Now that simplifies things.

I would go back to 1909 I guess New York look for a good baseball game . I would then find my way to the factory and ask a employ at the factory if or when wagners were printed.
Then jump to a day before or so of that date . Find a factory worker and tell him
to sneak me out as many as he can and I'll give him a months pay ! I would then protect them in a book or something. Then I would find a bank that I know still exist and buy a safety deposit box. Come back to currents with the existence
Of these card not being known to anyone and start to slowly sell them.

Required to show: Time travel is impossible.

Proof: If it was possible, someone would have gone back to 1909 and snag a pile of Wagners already. But no one has. So time travel is impossible.

QED


UNLESS! Maybe that's where the Cobb/Cobb find is from!!

PROBLEM WITH YOUR CONCLUSION:

We wouldn't know time travel existed until someone built a time machine. There would have to be a machine to send and a machine to return. So until the send machine is built nobody can go back, and they may create an alternate timeline that isn't the same as this one. (as they would no longer be occupying the same space at the same time, thus the actions their might not be felt in our future at all, but only in their's) Not to mention many scientists think that we could only go back as far in time as the first time machine was built

I could go on and on but eventually it just makes your head hurt! lol

But, to the topic at hand, I think one could do quite well on T206 cards sitting at the saloon and asking for the cards from other patrons. (another thing would be to make a deal with the cigarette girls in town to give you all the cards for a fee)

then like everyone said, find a bank that's still in business, put them in a safety deposit box and then pre-pay for 100 years

I could stay in the same place I am now and be two blocks from the ATC Warehouse in Richmond. Wouldnt that be the ultimate dumpster dive. I would have to stay though 1910 though to get a autograph on my pack fresh T210 Dutch Revelle and other Colts.

For me the cards would only be part of it, imagine how easy it would be easy to get Cobb, Wagner, Young, etc to get to sign the cards

Jason, when you feel like taking a break from your ATC dumpster diving in late 1909 and/or early 1910, you might want to pay a visit to Arthur W. Havens business establishment (confectioneries, pickles, canned fruits, & tobacco products) located at 1913 East Broad St. and/or his printer, Fulton Press, located nearby (this might entail further dumpster diving) to pick up a few handfulls of E222 cards, including Revelle and other Colts.
Best,
Val
