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.

Well-worn Roger Bresnahan grades PR 1 by PSA, with significant wear at the edges and corners, along with surface staining and several tack holes, one of which has resulted in a larger tear at the bottom-center edge.  Overall surface dirt is also evident at both front and back.
