Lot # 387: 1911 T3 Turkey Red #1 Mordecai Brown SGC VG/EX 50

Graded VG/EX 50 by SGC. Beautiful mid-grade example of Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer Mordecai Brown from the classic T3 Turkey Red cabinet-card series. Turkey Reds are one of the most highly prized of all tobacco issues. They were available only by mail in exchange for coupons packaged with Turkey Red Cigarettes. Because of their large size, they are easily damaged and particularly difficult to find in high grade. The offered example has beautiful colors, excellent registration, and light corner wear. The checklist (with offer) advertising reverse is boldly printed. This card would make a tremendous addition to a high-quality Turkey Red set.
