Not my photo, does anyone have this spectator color combo? I really want to see what it looks like in natural lighting, the trim is bone but I don’t know what the main color of the bag is

It's a beautiful bag but are you sure it's a spectator bag? Sometimes different leathers age with slightly different colors. This phenomenon was recently discussed here on TPF at the link below:

so I misread the description, the bag is one solid color and the strap and hang tag are bone…which doesn’t sound like a spectator with the trim being the same color….have you ever seen that before? I saw that conversation but I think the color difference is more intentional with the hang tag…

I don't think it is a spectator, coach spectator bags usually have contrasting colors as trim. I think that it is a beautiful bone-colored bag. Be sure to study the photos because light colored bags can be very hard to rehab.
 
Can anyone provide a size comparison between the large and small Courier Pouch? I picked up the pre-creed bag at the link below and I'm not sure which Courier I have; thanks!

So the pre-creed bag is larger?

I am trying to identify the pre-creed courier at the link below.

If anyone can help me differentiate between the large, small, and standard couriers, or tell me if this bag is 8920 I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Yours looks like the regular 8920.
My precreed has a lot of wear...so maybe a little stretch there as well. The Black is younger and in better condition.
@whateve suggested I post the picture I took of my small courier against Birdie’s large courier from the BOTD thread. Unfortunately, in the moment, I didn’t check the picture to make sure both bags were in frame. Sorry if this isn’t a very helpful comp :facepalm::

I have a question about the vintage Standard Courier Bag 8920. I've seen several catalog descriptions of the bag that reference an inside zipper pocket, but my pre-creed courier has an inner slip pocket - no zipper.

I have checked ebay and found some 8920 bags with creeds that really do have an inner zipper pocket. Do you think that the reason my bag has a slip pocket is because it is pre-creed and older, or maybe it's not the 8920 bag but a different version of the courier?

I found this pre-creed Courier on Poshmark and it also has a slip pocket: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...eather-Style-No-8920-6274466c3a0db981c88e3db4
