Lot 64. 1910-11 T3 Turkey Red Cabinet Card of #80 HoF Pitcher Chief Bender. Our consignor purchased this card in the 1970s. Planning to keep it and enjoy it forever, he had it professionally restored to enhance its appearance and his enjoyment. For health reasons, he is now parting with this T3 and others that he had restored. The only restoration to this card is to the tips of the four corners. It also has a barely noticeable ¼” wrinkle and a small stain in the upper right and a tiny area of paper loss affect the “5” in “59” on the back. Otherwise, the card is free of creases and has brilliant colors. It has an ex appearance.
Winning Bid $330.
Lot 65. 1910-11 T3 Turkey Red Card of #87 Eddie Collins with a Turkey Red Ad Back. The advertising back makes this cabinet card of the A’s Hall of Fame second baseman especially collectible.

The card also has several creases, primarily along the border and including a 1 ½” vertical crease, and a 1/8” edge tear. The image area is bright and colorful. The back is very clean and serves as an excellent example. The card has a vg+ to vg-ex appearance.
