Even though you said you wanted to start with 1910, I would move it back to 1909. That was really the first year that baseball cards as such took off, and there were so many great sets that year from which to choose. Personally and while I don't collect them, I believe you must have a T206 in there, as it represents the most popular set in the hobby. I would probably choose a caramel set for 1909, either E90-1, E92 or E95, and then use T206 in the 1910 slot.
I also would go after many different types of distribution, so I would use the game card from 1913 and a color strip card from 1920 (I would pick W514 as more colorful and better drawn). I also think it important to have a minor league card, and Zeenut is worthy of inclusion in any hobby discussion, so 1918 or 1919 would work there. Those same years would also work for W-UNC Big Head strips and m101-6 Mendelsohn, although the latter is so much larger it might overpower any display. I would include a Federal League player from whichever Cracker Jack set you choose--I'd take 1915 and use the t222 for 1914. Diaz cigs in 1924 gives you a little more international flavor than having multiple Canadian sets.
I would end with W560 for 1927, one of the ice cream sets for 1928 and R316 Kashin for 1929.
Lots of good choices available--I'm sure you will enjoy your project!
