T204 Ramly Cigarettes cards of 1909 feature a beautiful black-and-white portrait of each player encircled in an ornate border with the player's name, position, and team affiliation printed at the bottom. The cards, which are embossed and highlighted with gold ink, are extremely condition-sensitive because they are printed on flimsy paper. The gold borders are also very susceptible to chipping, as is the case with most gold-bordered cards. Between the outstanding player selection and the overall beauty of the issue, higher-grade examples from the set are extremely pricey, making affordable specimens tough to find.

PSA has only ever graded 32 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204, with only eleven receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered here of St. Louis pitcher William Henry "Bill" Dinneen (erroneously spelled "Dineen" on the card)) with an oval frame.

Centering is south and slightly east on the canvas. There is some edge wear and chipping that is so common with the set's gold borders, particularly in the corners. There is some creasing in the bottom left corner, and some more lines in the top left and bottom right, but overall this card has tremendous eye appeal. The portrait is bright and clean. The reverse is also mostly clean, especially in comparison to other Ramlys we have seen, but the creases from the front are much more visible when viewing this side. The back also shows some soiling at the bottom center. Soiling is not unusual for these cards, where the embossing can act like a dust magnet.

Attractive Ramlys are among the most beautiful cards in the hobby, but the eye appeal of the issue can sometimes suffer in the lower grades. This is an extraordinary example seldom seen with this sort of visual appeal.
