I'm putting together a pre-depression type set collection to show the breadth and development of card collecting. I have a real good start, but I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing that should be added.

Keep in mind I'm not looking to break the bank so Ramly or other expensive common cards are out.

What I have so far is

1887 Allen & GinterOld Judge
Turkey Red
Plenty of T206s
T205
Hassan Triple Folder
Mecca Double Folder
Colgan Chip
P2 pin
1906 Fan Craze
1915 Cracker Jack
B18 Blanket
Sporting Life
1921 Exhibit
1922 American Caramel
Strip Card plus a 1910 era glove and an Old Judge actress card

I'm thinking maybe an S74 silk and a Zeenut would work, but what else?

A t210 would look like with the red border and would represent the other leagues really well. Maybe a few of them from different leagues.

Oh, and some caramels (other than the CJ) to showcase the candy cards of the era too.

Look at oldcardboard.com for a good list. Prices are a little old, I think, but all the info you need.

I'd say some west coast stuff. Most affordably would probably be T212. Also, you might be surprised if you keep your eyes peeled for a T204 if they interest you. Deals come up with some lower grade ones with good eye appeal, priced about inline with some of your other purchases.

Mark,

Nice start to your type set!

The other posters have provided some good choices for you. You could also think about adding things like a T207 Brown background or some version of a M101-4 or -5 card.

What about a S74 Silks or Murad to show the college game. I also think some of the late 1800’s H804 Trade Cards would be a cool addition. The baby cards are hilarious.
