The cards in this 126-card set measure approximately 5 3/4" by 8". The 1911 Turkey Red set of color cabinet style cards, designated T3 in the American Card Catalog, is named after the brand of cigarettes with which it was offered as a premium. Cards 1-50 and 77-126 depict baseball players while the middle series (51-76) portrays boxers. The cards themselves are not numbered but were assigned numbers for ordering purposes by the manufacturer. This list appears on the backs of cards in the 77-126 sub-series and has been used in the checklist below. At one time the boxers (51-76) were assigned a separate catalog number (T9) but were later returned to the classification to which they properly belong. This attractive set has been reprinted in 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" form. A small number of proofs were found in the early 1970's. Approximately 70 of the cards in the set have been discovered in proof form.
