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.

Gorgeous example of one of the most important cards in the T3 issue, that of Hall of Fame pitcher Walter Johnson.  PSA has graded just 31 examples of this card with the tougher checklist back, making this extremely desirable regardless of grade.  The majority of the wear is relegated to corners and edges, in the form of chipping and a single heavy crease at the left edge, resulting in a tiny edge tear.  The reverse exhibits some light soiling throughout.  Still, a wonderful example of a highly sought-after card, one of three or four of the issue's most important keys.
