Need advice on a pre-WW1 type collection

[darkhorse9]

I've been working on a pre- 1920 type collection. My goal is to show the diversity of collecting during that period. I've assembled about 25 pieces but want to add more. So what should I go after?

Again, I'm looking for things other than just typical tobacco or candy cards that all look the same. I prefer Major League and a price point where lower grades will be under $300

What suggestions do you have for something interesting to add?

[Tom S.]

Mark,

That's a very nice start to a type set that you have!

If you are looking to add something more to it, there are a number of different postcards that you could consider (Dietsche, Wolverine News Co., Max Stein, etc.), or strip cards (W514, W519, etc.). You could also add something like a Collins-McCarthy (E135) or Boston Store advertising back.

Good luck with filling your set out!

I see no t206. Also, e107 would be good to add

good luck and diverse set

Very nice

I feel like I opened the refrigerator door and my wife said "hey grab a T206" and it HAS to be right in front of me but I don't see it?

Beautiful display! Some random thoughts in case you want to add:
one T206 (I think a Snodgrass with the catchers gear be "interesting")
one of these: E90, E92, E93, E94, E95, E96, E97, E98 (pick a colorful one maybe from E93 or E94 to contrast what you've already got)
one M101-2 Sporting News Supplement (sepia toned)

And there are some beautiful postcards - browse this site - https://oldcardboard.com/cardSetList.asp?GroupID=12

Bakery cards: https://oldcardboard.com/cardSetList.asp?GroupID=13

Good luck, and please update with pics when you add to it!

edited to add: looks like everyone already mentioned what I was thinking while I took too long to respond, doh!

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.

[darkhorse9]

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.

M116 with the blue background is nice too…
