I had suggested the M101-2 Sporting News Supplements in your earlier thread. I know you're looking for just pre-1920 issues, and those are something you don't seem to have in the collection yet. There were other periodicals, like the Boston Herald, that also issued inserted premiums/supplements like these M101-2s as well, so these supplements are not entirely unique, but definitely another type of collectible from the time period you're interested in. The M101-2 Sporting New Supplements just happen to be one of the largest and most prominent such sets from this particular era. Plus the photographic images and variety of players, owners, managers, teams, and even umpires, included in it are second to none. There have been past threads on here about them, go check them out for yourself.

They'd be a lot more reasonable price-wise than going for an M101-1 or a National Copper type supplement, and with the variety of in-action and other poses, would be a great replacement for those two modern pictures hanging on the wall right behind your pre-war collection. Nothing wrong with either of the two faux bubblegum wrapper pictures/prints you have on the wall now, but they honestly do not go with the great pre-1920 theme. Good luck.
