t3 turkey red size issues?
 

Posted By: <b>jeff</b><p>hello<br />fairly new to vintage cards...still learning. my neighbor is an old fella who showed me a card he had in a case. it was a chief meyers at bat horizontal card in GREAT shape. researched and found it to be a t3 turkey red cabinet card....except the size. this card was the size of a normal card, whereas the real turkey reds were significantly larger, is that correct? does that mean this is a reprint? it's not in perfect shape, and does look old, but if it's not like 8"x5", then does that mean it's not the real deal 1911 version? all help is appreciated. thanks<br />jeff

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>Your neighbor's card could be a lot of things, but if it is the size of a normal card, then it is not a Turkey Red. So, what is it?<br /><br />Please show us a scan, and we can possibly tell you. If you can't scan it, or get a digital photo, can you xerox it?

Posted By: <b>jeff</b><p>thanks everyone for your fast and helpful responses. much appreciated. <br />i'll scan the card this evening and repost the question as to what the heck it might be. hopefully something more than a reprint.....so it is, i take it, possible that it might be something else vintage?<br />were there other cards then that were similar to the turkey reds format? either way, i'll have scans up later today. thanks<br />jeff

Posted By: <b>bcornell</b><p>If it's Chief Myers at Bat, then it could only be a T3, but in this case it's a <a href="http://www.fritschcards.com/reprints/1911_1920/1911TurkeyRed.html">Fritsch reprint</a> of that card. They were made to the standard size. To quote the scammers, "it doesn't say reprint anywhere on the card". <br /><br />Bill
