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.

One of the toughest cards in the T3 issue, PSA has graded just 20 examples of the card of Owen Wilson with the checklist reverse.  The card's eye appeal is strong, but a puncture hole appears near Wilson's waist, repaired on the reverse with a piece of clear tape.  The tape is enough to justify the "ALTERED" designation in the eyes of PSA, though clearly no attempt has been made to deceive or artificially enhance the card.  Eye appeal is reasonably strong, though the aforementioned puncture remains visible on the front, and some other age-related discoloration is also apparent.  Still, a tremendously difficult card.
