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 14 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204, with only three receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered here of Washington first baseman Bob Unglaub (erroneously spelled as "Unglane" on the card).

The centering is very nice on this one, which helps 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 corners and along the top edge. However, the gold within the body of the card is beautifully dark and bold, especially when compared to other Ramlys of this grade. There is some snow within the portrait area, but Unglane's image remains mostly bright and clean. The reverse has some general toning, with a few streaks of soiling along the right side. 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.
