Travis—Nice card, but I’m afraid, contrary to what it says on the label, that this is just a cabinet, not an imperial cabinet.

Interesting. I actually don't know the difference. What is an imperial cabinet vs a regular cabinet?

Imperial cabinet is bigger. The NY Jos Hall imperial cabinet is maroon in color and is very rare. Yours is the typical Jos Hall team version.

Here's a link to one offered by H&S years ago. According to the listing it measures roughly 20"x19" - https://bid.hugginsandscott.com/bids...?itemid=147533

There is also a 3rd size, roughly 10"x8", that has the maroon border Jay references, that was offered by REA - https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=64737

Actually H & S got it wrong, that is a Mammoth Plate size, the one Jay mentioned is the Imperial Plate size...

That's super interesting. I had no idea there were different variations of this card. The prices of those two auctions are staggering!
