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.

SGC has only ever graded 13 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204 of St. Louis pitcher Fred Beebe.

Centering is just a hair 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 a surface abrasion and some light soiling on the right side of the image, but you can still easily make out Beebe's distinguished portrait. The reverse is mostly clean, with only some minor soiling apparent near the top right corner, 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.
