1909 Ramly Cigarettes (T204) - Basic Complete Set Break - "#4 Current Finest on PSA Set Registry"
Population two, only two superior!
1909 T204 Ramly Eddie Plank PSA NM 7. Widely regarded as one
of the most elegant and artistically distinctive tobacco issues of
the early 20th century, the T204 Ramly set has long been a favorite
among advanced collectors. Issued in 1909 by the Ramly Cigarettes
brand (T.T.T. or Turkish Trophy), the set features 121 subjects
framed in ornate gold filigree borders with detailed
black-and-white portrait photography. Completing the full set is a
daunting challenge, and assembling it in elite condition is nearly
impossible-until now.The offered card is part of a remarkable set being broken and sold on a card-by-card basis (with the exception of Walter Johnson) . Ranked #4 on the PSA Set Registry with a GPA of 4.89, the set stands among the finest T204 Ramly collections ever assembled. It boasts extraordinary quality across the board, with a staggering number of high-grade examples that surpass most offerings ever brought to market. Several entries in this set rank among the highest-graded examples in existence.
This auction marks the first installment of a two-part offering, with the second wave of cards from this elite T204 set slated for our October sale.
Presented is a 1909 T204 Ramly Turkish card of Hall of Fame southpaw Eddie Plank. Competing in the Major Leagues for 16 seasons, primarily throwing for the Philadelphia Athletics, Plank recorded 326 victories, registered 410 complete games and struck out 2,246 batters along the way. His posthumous induction into Cooperstown took place in 1946. The presented example exhibits the Ramly ad on the reverse and is found in Near Mint condition with very little surface wear and showing only minor signs of chipping on the top and left edges. Graded PSA NM 7. Of the 26 examples found in the PSA Pop Report, this is one of only two examples graded NEAR MINT with just two rated higher.
