Need advice on a pre-WW1 type collection

[GrewUpWithJunkWax]

Great collection and variety. I also enjoy seeing examples of various sets like that.

I think I've narrowed down the next two additions to my type collection. Again, the idea is to have a story to tell about collecting pre-1919.

1918 Zeenut - as far as I can tell, the only set issued during the height of WW1

1888 Scrapps- now that they've been identified as HD Smith &Co. they could be the first set issued with gum

I'll be starting my search for reasonably priced versions of these. Any help is appreciated, also more ideas on cool Pre-WW1 cards to go after.

As a type collector myself, I have these suggestions:

1. You are under-represented in the colorful E cards. An E93 or E94 would be a good addition. Maybe E102 and E103.
2. There are some great looking and interesting postcard issues, such as Rose Postcards, Max Stein, PC796 Sepia, Wolverine News Tigers, or Topping & Co. Tigers that would look good in your collection.
3. Some type cards would be over $300, but I think you could get a T5 Pinkerton cabinet and a 1913 Cravats felt in your price range.
