Least appealing T206 card and why ? Now keeping tallies !! Shannon is in the lead!!

[Joshchisox08]

Although some may find it hard to pick one or say that they don't hate any card in the set. Imagine if you had to pick just one (although you can post as many as you want) that if you didn't pick just one you had to ....... idk give up you entire collection of everything.

For me it's the ole Mr. Ed, and Otto Kruger they're both pretty scary looking dudes especially Creeper I mean Kruger.

Time to keep a tally and see who is the worst card in the set. Frank I apologize in advance for stealing your idea but this is all in good fun. Hope you understand.

OH NO Josh, Not Dick Egan.......LOL. He actually is one of my favorite cards in the set. I'm trying to do a back run of him.

I am not sure there is one card I don't like to be honest. I will have to think about this. Good thread though.

Mark

[ullmandds]

I hate them all......but I think I hate shannon the most. It's just a ridiculous pose and he looks like a pickled person!

[Econteachert205]

Billy purtell. The 06 set has inconsistent artwork for sure

[edjs]

Kelley. I can't even bring myself to buy it. Good thing I still need a whole lot of them. My last 5 to complete the set will be Magie, Doyle, Plank, Wagner, and then Kelley.

Matty Mcintyre

I agree and although I needed him for to close in on my Sox list It was my least desirable of the Sox players. Not to mention besides Fiene he was probably the worst player for the Sox in the set.

Ha! Great thread idea! Definitely Egan and those idiotic teeth...looks like he needs to be given some sugar cubes and put out to pasture.

Kruger drank grape soda. Hair parted down the middle... come on man, dead give away.

I can totally see that !

Bill Burns

Whomever was the artist on that card had never played baseball before, nor did they understand human anatomy with the glove being on the wrong hand. Just way too distracting and dumb looking

[Peter_Spaeth]

Johnson pitching. No resemblance.

After three and a half years, you may regret it.

Sorry Frank I did say that I stole your idea. Hopefully you don't mind as this is a variation of what you're tracking. Three and a half years eh ? I doubt that this will keep up as long as yours. NO REGRETS !!!

This is the grammar problem I've had all my life: I've always thought it was dealt with sternly.
However, when it's stated:

That I get!

[rhettyeakley]

I'm pretty shocked at how little traction my suggestion of Bill Burns has gotten as he is easily the dorkiest looking card in the set. I can only think this is the case because I didn't post a picture to begin with. No way is Billy "Tiny Legs" Purtell worse than this atrocity! IMO this should rival Shannon and Egan for the ignominious honor...

[quinnsryche]

I vote Shannon. Absolutely horrible!

Yes the Burns is pretty damn ugly but alas it is a Sox card so I'm forced to almost like it.

You know, to me his Turkey Red looks like his glove has 6 fingers on it. Anyone else notice that?

Shannon.......awful, like a 2nd grader made it.

You're probably right...weren't the T206 cards manufactured before enforced child-labor laws?

The original sweat shop...
School-aged kids with colors trying to make baseball cards. I wonder what the quota was?
