Need advice on a pre-WW1 type collection

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

A leather would be a cool addition.

Along with the other great suggestions I would add a 1921 Exhibits postcard. Commons can be had for under $300.

Yes, t206 are present framed to the left wall.

Exhibits and strip card suggestions don't work. They're after 1919

Mark, you have an awesome collection going there, that anyone would be proud to have. Congratulations! And I very much like how you have it set up for display.

Great diversity! I really like the leather idea from Scott, but not sure how realistic that would be at the $300 price point. I would also add a trade card like H804 or a notebook cover.

An S74-2 colored silk to go the white S74-1 silk
Colgan's Chip disc - regular version (And you can try to find separate Tin Top and Red Border versions as well.)
Nattional Game card
Polo Grounds Game card
T222 Fatima player photo card

How about a N43?
Ornate…

M116 with the blue background is nice too…

[Vintagedeputy]

A Colgan's square proof and H818 would be cool..

[NiceDocter]

A Rose postcard if you can find a common would really stand out.

[FrankWakefield]

A nice bunch of cards, there.

E cards? E90-1,-2,-3. E102. E104.

T222 Fatima?

[darkhorse9]

I like the N43 idea. Hopefully I can find a low grade at an affordable price.

I might consider a Scrapps tobacco also for another 19th century card. T222 would also fit well.

A WG1 would be fun, but I've never seen one in the wild.

I'll probably pass on all the E90 and related. They're just too similar to each other. Same with the Polo Grounds and other Game cards

A Dietsche postcard is a good idea. I'd almost rather get one that was used and postmarked rather than graded.

The idea is to have a wide variety of looks to interest even non collectors p who couldn't tell an E90 from an e93
