Produced in 1910-11 by the American Tobacco Company, the Turkey Red cabinet cards were redeemably by mailing in coupons found in packs of Turkey Red, Fez and Old Mill brand cigarettes.  The large-format cards were produced on heavy stock, measuring 5 ¾” x 8” and feature beautiful, colorful lithographic printing featuring one of 126 different subjects (including 25 boxers, which are catalogued as T9 cards, but are actually part of the same set).  Cards are found with checklists on the reverse, or in the case of card numbers 77-126, with a Turkey Red advertisement.  Due to their size, the cards are often found with pinholes and back damage from mounting in scrapbooks or hanging on walls, and are seldom found in higher grades.  Difficult to find in quantity, they are considered to be among the most beautiful and desirable of all the baseball tobacco issues.

While the grade assigned by PSA is the lowest possible grade on their scale, a PR 1 with a qualifier, the card of Hall of Famer Johnny Evers is extremely attractive, a colorful, bright horizontal image unaffected by the wear evident at the borders of the card.  Said wear includes a couple of large tack holes, some paper loss along the borders, and general discoloration.  Paper loss is apparent in areas on the reverse, along with some uneven toning that is often seen with cards of this era that have spent time in contact with colored scrapbook paper.  Some pencil markings at the top edge of the reverse are the reason for the MK qualifier.
