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 23 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204 of New York first baseman Fred Tenney.

The centering is really very nice on this one, which contributes to the eye appeal as much as it does the grade. There is some very light edge wear and chipping that is so common with the set's gold borders, particularly in the soft, rounded corners and along the right edge. There is a minor surface abrasion near the top of Tenney's left shoulder and in the background of the portrait area, but the vast majority of his image is bold and clean. The front displays beautifully, especially for a card of this grade. The reverse has a general darker tone, with some noticeable soiling along the top edge which does not affect the front of the card. 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.
