Lets see some WEIRD cards...
 
I started looking through my collection for some "weird" cards, and to my surprise, they were a little bit too easy to find. Perhaps I need to reconsider exactly what it is that I am collecting(?).

That glove, or even worst the image of a giant hand inside that glove has always scared the dickens out of me!

The prototypical weird card which will stand the test of time.

What happened to the ball?

I'm not sure if he is being attacked by bees or doing the cha cha.

Obviously not the work of a future Disney animator.

Is Veach asking or answering a question?

Just plain weird.

Does someone have an E107 Ed Poole? I have an image of one, but it isn't mine and I don't want to rain on someone else's parade.

Might be Thompson looking into the future and imagining himself playing air guitar...

Who else but Ozark Ike was man enough to wear a pink t-shirt?

A entertaining discription of the wierdness of this card is given by Brenden C. Boyd and Fred C. Harris in The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book. I would be happy to email a scan the description if anyone wants it. Just send me a PM.

Actually, the balls and the "high sign" are supposed to represent six home runs in three straight games.

Perhaps he has a structured settlement and he needs cash NOW!

As always lots of great responses, but...
 
so far, the 48 Leaf Dillinger gets my vote for wierdest card. Kinda freaks me out. The T206 Abbott has the best description. Well done, Bob.

There's lots more out there. Can he be topped?

I guess swimming gear has come a long way.
