Say you had a time machine...

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.

Thanks, I had the machine just about ready, now I have to go and redesign the whole dang thing.....

Once your preferred method of time travel is squared away I'd say the Northeast is likely where you want to be. My father discovered three Wagners between 1972 and 1974. Here are the cities in which he found them:

1972: Mahopac, NY
1973: Floral Park, NY
1974: Rutland, VT
