"Scott Brockelman (SB1/PWT) - 1909 Ramly Cigarettes (T204) Baseball Set
Arguably one of the most attractive trading card sets ever produced, the 1909 Ramly baseball set is also one of the most difficult prewar issues to assemble in high grade. The images of the players on the fronts are surrounded by an embossed frame and borders that easily reveal wear with the slightest touch. The 121-card set includes plenty of stars from the period, including Chief Bender, Eddie Plank and Walter Johnson. It also includes all three Chicago Cubs icons: Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank Chance. There are also several cards that were made with a square frame in addition to the more common oval frame, and these tough variations sell for a premium. This year’s inductee remains the finest complete set ever assembled on the Registry, exhibiting a GPA of 6.62."

That set deserves that honor...to put together T204 in that grade I do not ever think can be duplicated. It's my favorite set so I'm green with envy, but also very impressed.

Very nice. I've only owned a single T204, but it's one of my favorite cards in my collection.

The existence of a single known survivor of 40 of the 121 cards in a set and for all to be of high grade is beyond probability.
Being able to acquire them and the remaining scarce and rare cards in the set required a great amount of time, determination, funds, luck, and patience. Fantastic.

what Jerry said - and in fewer words than usual :)

Has it only been twenty years? I think you were buying them before '97......
