Cabinets
15 April 2007
Oversized cards issued in the "tobacco" days of baseball cards (late 19th and early 20th century), cabinet cards usually measure 5-3/4" by 8".
A cabinet card will feature either a photograph attached to a cardboard backing (making it a true cabinet card), or a lithographed image card.
Cabinets were premium cards that typically could be obtained by sending in coupons from packs of cigarettes. Turkey Reds, (pictured here) issued in 1911, are examples of cabinet cards.
