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 19 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204 of Washington third baseman Wid Conroy.

Centering is a touch west and south on the canvas. There is some wear and chipping that is so common with the set's gold borders, but the edges are mostly in nice shape. However, the card's Authentic Altered grade suggests that the borders are artificially nice, having been trimmed. The gold is darker and bolder than many other Ramly examples, and the portrait is crisp and clear, as well. The reverse is beautifully clean, with only some light soiling on the sides and in the top left corner. 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. The scarcity of this issue far outweighs any perceived cosmetic flaws on this example.
