Bring Pop Tarts and all sorts of snacks to hand out, and a comfortable chair. Perhaps have some 'Seinfeld' DVDs to give out (since you can't really do much with DVDs anymore). Set yourself up in the most tobacco-est area possible of a town or city and let it be known that you will wow anyone who gives you tobacco cards with fantastic tales of the future.

A second option is to bring with you many thousand-count boxes of 1990 Score cards (only commons, of course, because these 1910 idiots don't know who the stars are/will be) and tell the kiddies, "I will give you 10 incredible futuristic cards for every silly, worthless and 'new' tobacco card you give me."

Word will spread like wildfire, and your only problem will be how in heck do you get back to the time machine with the incredible amount of booty you've scored.

Depending on the size of the time machine you could bring lots of Pop Tarts and open a Pop Tart restaurant which will be super successful with all the flavors, then you become rich, acquire goods. Then you return to the present and not only will you have plenty of cards but there will be a History Channel documentary on your Pop Tart creations and super successful restaurant.

I would take back the formula for transparent aluminum and live long and prosper that way.

I'd bring a gun and a big bag. Park the time machine right outside the smoke shop and I'm in and out in less than 2 minutes.
