 We see to only live in a two world market. There is such a difference in cards from 1988-1911 at least that there should be a separate qualifier for that at least.

 I actually think 19th century stuff gets treated as its own separate market/subset.  Burdick did give the entire era its own designation as N cards.  In which case Pre-WW I cards would cover about 16 - 17 years, which seems a little too short to designate as its own separate collecting era maybe?
