One commenter even described the picture by saying that his head looked like it was a balloon in a parade.

I happen to really like this card, but probably mainly because I'm a Cubs fan and the '65 Topps set is my favorite of the decade. But that being said, the picture doesn't bother me - I think it's kind of neat. That famous "Let's Play Two" smile is still on display... Thoughts?

agreed...great card / image of Ernie - LET'S PLAY TWO!
