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 22 total examples of this 1909 Ramly T204 of Hall of Fame Chicago shortstpo Joe Tinker.

The centering is west on the canvas. There is some edge wear and chipping that is so common with the set's gold borders, particularly in the soft, rounded corners. There are creases in the top right and bottom left corners, with some surface abrasions and snow in the portrait area. However, Tinker's famous hair horns are still on full display in this gorgeous image. The reverse has a handful of spots of soiling, particularly along the right edge, but they do not affect the front. 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. Despite any cosmetic flaws, this is still a wonderful issue of the Hall of Famer, and is highly sought after.
