Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. One of only two examples graded at this level by PSA with none higher! Outstanding example of Hall of Famer Willie Keeler (New York Highlanders) from the prized T204 Ramly series, one of the premier tobacco-card issues of the era. The Ramly series is recognized as one of the most desirable of all the tobacco-card issues, appreciated by collectors both for its rarity and distinctive style. Keeler is one of only fifteen Hall of Famers in the set. The offered example has a striking portrait image, virtually no chipping to the gold borders, strong corners, and centering toward the left. The back is clean with bold black print. This is a spectacular high-grade example of this popular Hall of Famer from this beautiful and extremely condition-sensitive set. Opening Bid $5,000.
