Issued in 1911 as a premium for which a consumer of Pinkerton's tobacco products could redeem ten coupons the T5 Pinkerton cabinets are unlike T3 Turkey Reds "true" cabinets - consisting of a photograph affixed to a heavy cardboard mount. Like the N173 Old Judge cabinets it is unknown how many different cards were actually produced and a complete checklist will likely never be developed (although early advertising for the promotion indicated that 376 different cabinets were initially available). Presented here is a well-worn example featuring outfielder Danny Murphy of the Athletics. Graded AUTHENTIC by SGC (as are most examples from the issue) the card exhibits considerable surface wear to both the image and mount a technical grade of POOR undoubtedly appropriate. Still the rarity of the issue in general make them appealing in any grade particularly to those accumulating as many different poses as possible.
