Everyone is also forgetting that you must bring period money with you in order to make purchases. From 1878 on, you could bring back circulated Morgan dollars which would cost you today under $10, and I imagine a single Morgan dollar could get you quite a few Old Judges, Kalamazoo Bats, maybe even a few Four Base Hits if you could find them. For my trip back to 1869, best thing to do is bring a double eagle from the 1860's which you could purchase today for about $500. I would say that a $20 gold piece could buy an awful lot from Peck & Snyder's, which might include uniforms, bats, and a thick handful of Brooklyn Atlantic and Cincinnati Reds trade cards. That would be a solid $500 purchase.
