Gentlemen, I am smitten. Please share your T204 Ramlys

[sb1]

one for the thread

[Michael Peich]

Good thread and I am smitten as well!

Scott-gorgeous Plank, although my Plank is a little less fully revealed than yours. And, I thought I'd display the TTT back you sold me a few years ago, for which I am grateful.

Cheers,
Mike

Love the thread, Bill! Thanks for starting it. The Ramlys are definitely one of the most beautiful and perhaps more under appreciated issues out there. Can you imagine the set's popularity if it contained the classic portrait images of Wagner, Cobb, or Matty? I picked up my Keeler Ramly on eBay about 10 years ago. It is probably the prize card in my collection, and one that I seldom see available.

Women do read this board, or at least some used to. I wonder what they think of cards being compared to girls with big knockers.

I hear ya Peter but if there’s anything our hip hop society has taught us…well….

So what can we do?

I love these kinds of threads because they are a form of immediate education, on top of being a fabulous showcase for the cards being discussed. Great cards, everybody! Thank you again for letting us peek behind the curtain to see some of your incredible collections. In the last few minutes, I have learned there are variations to the borders (some solid, some not), as well as the backs, Ramly and TTT.

If there are any ladies that venture into this thread, I apologize if I've offended. The analogy was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Alas, after 42 years on this Earth, I still have not figured the fairer sex out, and likely never will.

And leave it to John to add a little levity to the thread.

Luke, the set might lack those players you mentioned, but from what I've seen thus far, the offering of Hall of Famers and other stars during the period should be enough to grab any collector's attention. I wonder if it's not the relative scarcity holding the card's popularity back, relatively speaking.

That Keeler is one of my favorite examples from the set thus far, along with the WaJo.

Are there any cards within the set that are considered more difficult to acquire?

[philliesphan]

Only own four T204s. Per my name here, there's simply not many Phillies from the set to collect, so I got all of the one they chose to include:

nice variation run Marc. Doesn't PSA note TTT backs?
Still kicking myself for not grabbing that Bransfield when I had the chance....

[tiger8mush]

Nice Ramly's everyone! Especially loving the Plank, Keeler, WaJo, and Browns!

One of the few Ramly's I own...

Anthony, they do now. But I think I picked up that TTT years and years ago, before they started labeling it.

I'm delighted to own the Square Frame. Great opportunity, even nicer seller. One of the few cards in my collection that's likely to be in the "never for sale" category. Seems like the Square Frames come up in bunches -- and it's been a while since (m)any have been available?
