Many good suggestions, but I think to capture the diversity of what was going on back then, you will need a representative sampling of minor league cards. A C46 has a neat design and could show a Canadian team, a T210 is colorful and captures the South, and of course a Zeenut covers baseball in the West (one with a coupon would be great to show that redemption feature).
Even if you believe the e90-96s are too similar or repetitive, it seems incomplete not to have a card from one of the sets as representative of the caramel card collector. I also agree that a postcard is essential, and a Rose would be a great choice.
As for oddballs, I would find a Sporting News supplement, an m101-6 (great photography) and maybe a Piedmont stamp. I also would add a D304 Brunners Butter Krust, as it has a different look, and a 1917 bakery card, which served as a model for the 1921 issues in both size and style. Finally maybe a t213-2 Federal Leaguer with its distinctive blue typeset.
