Issued in 1911 as a premium for which a consumer of Pinkerton's tobacco products could redeem ten coupons, the T5 Pinkerton cabinets are unlike T3 Turkey Reds in that they are "true" cabinets, consisting of a photograph affixed to a heavy cardboard mount.  Like the M173 Old Judge cabinets, it is unknown how many cards were actually produced, and a complete checklist will likely never be developed (though early advertising for the promotion indicated that 376 different cabinets were initially available.  Presented here is Cardinals first baseman Ed Konetchy, a beautiful side-view with exquisite detail not only of the player but of the grandstand and players in the background.  Graded AUTHENTIC by SGC, as are many of the Pinkerton's (due to the way that the photos are glued onto the mounts, with spots of glue on top and often loose at the bottom), the photo presents well with some wear and surface abrasions at the top edge.  The mount appears strong, with some mild toning on the reverse.
