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

I was born in Rutland VT, lived there 2/3 of my life and was 12 years old in 1974.
But...the Wags wasn't mine
