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.

Extremely attractive midgrade card of Harry Krause, graded VG-EX 4 (MK) by PSA.  Image quality is reasonably strong with a few minor surface abrasions, along with some very light discoloration at the border areas.  The MK qualifier appears to be related to some light pencil writing at the upper-right corner on the reverse; the aforementioned discoloration appears more like staining of some sort on the back of the card.
