Collector-grade grouping of cabinet cards from the popular and beautiful T3 Turkey Red issue. Redeemable in exchange for coupons the Turkey Red set is more scarce than most tobacco issues of its era and the large format of the cards renders them susceptible to a variety of condition woes including pinholes tape stains and more. Despite this the cards are quite desirable in any grade and sets are difficult to complete. Presented here are 37 cards from the set including a few duplicates and several Hall of Famers. Condition is largely F-P with pinholes tape stains surface wear and rounded corners and edges along with occasional writing and paper loss. Still this large a collection of cards from the issue are not frequently found. The collection includes the following: Bender (HOF) Bergen Browne (Wash & Chicago) Chance (HOF) Chase Clarke (HOF) Crawford (HOF) Dahlen Doolin (Turkey Red Advertising Back) Elberfeld (2) Evers (HOF) Griffith (HOF) Jennings (HOF) Jordan & Herzog At First (2) Kleinow Kling (Turkey Red Advertising Back) Leach Lennox Magee (2) McConnell (2) McIntyre Meyers Mitchell Pfeister (2) Raymond (Turkey Red Advertising Back) Schmidt (Turkey Red Advertising Back) Street (Turkey Red Advertising Back) Thomas (Turkey Red Advertising Back) Tinker (HOF) Wiltse "Safe at Third" and "Trying to Catch Him Napping." An exceptional grouping of collector-grade cards from a highly desirable cabinet card issue including multiple Hall of Famers. 37 cards total.
