Similar to the Pinkerton cabinets issued around the same time; this checklist is presented without prices. These cards are very scarce within the hobby as it originally took 50 coupons to receive one of these premiums. These cabinets measure approximately 5" by 7" are usually have a pencil marking in the back which correspond to the Obak listings of the 1911 set. In addition, subtle differences are known in every photo since they were enlarged from the original photo. It is believed that by 1913 only 25 coupons were needed for these and possibly less later in the decade. While there is not a lot of activity on these cards, a price of approximately $2500 for known copies in ex/mt condition is a good base to use for pricing. A nice grouping of these cards were auctioned off in the December, 2006 SCP/Sotheby's with the prices being in range with the base pricing we discussed a sentence earlier. [Collapse]
