1909 Ramly Cigarettes T204 Guide

Set Description 

In 1909, Ramly and T.T.T. Turkish tobacco cigarettes released 121 of the most ornate sets ever produced. The front of the cards present the player in a black and white portrait.  The image is framed by a gold embossed frame. The players last name, position, and team appear below the image.  Backs of the cards contain an advertisement for either Ramly or T.T.T. though the Ramly brand is far more common.  The set is not numbered so the checklist is listed alphabetically. Cards from the set are extremely rare and valuable, with Walter Johnson being the most desired.  The majority of the images are have a circular frame around them but there are several with a square frame.
