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.

Significant wear is evident at all four borders of Art Devlin's Turkey Red cabinet, resulting in paper loss in places, as the card was likely secured in a frame or scrapbook at some point.  Pinholes grace the top and bottom center, also within the border area of the card.  Staining and paper loss is particularly evident on the reverse, as are some glue remnants.
