1888. I'd scoop up all the N172s I could find, order all the N173s, get every N175 small card I could find, hang out in tobacco shops looking for N175 larges, chew that G&B brand chewing gum until I completed their set (with several copies of the Spalding), get a few nice N162 sets, some N43 Ewings, maybe a Yum Yum set or two, and see if I could find any collectors out there with a few "old" N167s from two years earlier.

I also like Barry's idea of hanging out at the Peck & Snyder store in 1869. Another interesting time would be 1903, opening packs of Breisch Williams caramel, and seeing if the good folks at Sporting Life would still send me their cabinet cards from 1902.
