Say you had a time machine...

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

Make sure you take back with you the correct currency.
You'd feel like a complete fool if the Treasury Dept. was alerted.

My biggest fear with time travel is finding out that you travel time only and when you get to 1909, the Earth is on the other side of the sun because you didn't go back to the exact date you left. Basically I'm just floating in 1909 space because I left in July and wanted to go back to December.

Basically it's like that commercial that says something like "If you could build a stairway to the moon..." I'm guessing you could only go to the moon when it lines up with the end of the stairway.
