Introduced by the American Tobacco Company in 1910, the 1911 Turkey Red Cabinet T3 baseball cabinet cards were designed for “preferred” tobacco customers and available as premiums in exchange for coupons from three companies: Turkey Red Cigarettes, Old Mill Cigarettes, or Fez Cigarettes. With most of the era's top stars featured in the checklist, including a plethora of Hall of Famers such as Mordecai Brown, Ty Cobb, Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker, Cy Young, Frank “Home Run” Baker and Walter Johnson, also available were a number of generic scenes revealing ballplayers in glorified "action" scenes. Offered here, we present this copy of card #36 from the set that depicts Tris Speaker of the Boston Red Sox over the front. Displaying beautiful imagery of Speaker in his home Red Sox uniform over the front of the card, the large oversized 5 3/4" x 8" piece features a checklist back and has been graded to the tune of a PR 1 assessment after its recent inspection by PSA. Displaying with corner wear/missing pieces, creasing and toning on the reverse, the card is housed in a PSA holder that is found to be in overall excellent condition despite small scratches and scuffs over both sides.
