DESCRIPTION

1911 T9 Turkey Red Cabinet #73 — Al Kaufman — Checklist Back — PSA 4 VG-EX (MK) PSA Cert #30805393

Stunning tobacco-era boxing artwork! This is Al Kaufman #73 from the legendary 1911 T9 Turkey Red cabinet series, with the scarcer CHECKLIST back, graded PSA 4 VG-EX with an MK qualifier. Turkey Reds are oversized premium cabinets (roughly 5-3/4" x 8") that collectors redeemed by mailing in coupons from Turkey Red, Old Mill, or Fez cigarettes — and their full-color lithographed artwork inside the signature gold woodgrain frame makes them among the most displayable cards ever produced.

The artwork on this one is a knockout: Kaufman coiled mid-punch in a flag-draped ring, rendered in rich color with fantastic detail down to the towel on the ring post. Kaufman was a San Francisco heavyweight and one of the leading contenders of his day — he shared the ring with the greatest names of the era, most famously going ten rounds with heavyweight champion Jack Johnson (card #76 in this same series) in their 1909 San Francisco bout.

Card Details:

  • Set: 1911 T9 Turkey Red Cabinets ("Prominent Base Ball Players & Athletes")
  • Card: #73, Al Kaufman (Boxing)
  • Back: Checklist back ("Order By Number Only")
  • Grade: PSA 4 VG-EX (MK)
  • Cert Number: 30805393 (verifiable on PSA's website)

About the MK qualifier: PSA's MK notation refers to the period pencil marks on the reverse — the original collector ticked off the boxers on the checklist (including this very card, No. 73) while tracking their set over a century ago. A charming piece of hobby history in its own right, and the front is completely unaffected, displaying beautifully with strong color and a bold gold frame. Please review all photos carefully — the images show the exact card you will receive, front and back.

The checklist back reads like a who's-who of 1911 — Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, and Cy Young among the ballplayers; Jack Johnson, Stanley Ketchel, and Sam Langford among the fighters.

Perfect for boxing collectors, T9 set builders, and pre-war tobacco enthusiasts — Turkey Red cabinets display like miniature paintings. Don't miss it!
