Ugliest set ever

Someone mentioned in the B/S/T thread that the e102 set was the ugliest set ever produced. Obviously, he has never seen an r302 MP & Co card. These cards make even the worst of the strip cards look decent. |

Ya, they're ugly, you don't want 'em. Really, you don't. That being the case, you can always sell them to me for cheap right? |

but - I never personally liked the T209 Contentnea set (2nd series or photo series...whatever you want to call it). Taking into consideration these cards were issued in the same time period as T205's, T206's, E104's and even the T209 first series... this set with its B&W images does nothing for me. |

There is one of the black & white, blank-backed 1920s W-issues. My initial impression when I received one in the mail was, "Is this just cheap-looking, or did I just buy a Xerox?" It turned out to be the former. |

Also, I recently bought a 1947 Bond Bread (it was autographed, which justifies my auctions). To me it looks like something that Roy Huff would stick in a AAA holder and describe as a "paper stock cutout." It doesn't even have the patented "partial article on back." |

Being somewhat a connoisseur of ugly pre-ww2 cards (we all have our shortcomings), I would agree that the MP&Co issues are near the top of the heap. Some other cards that compete in this catergory are several (not all) of the W series cards, such as the W512, W513, W516, W519, and W522. I used to lump the W515 set in this group, but have come to realize that, besides being very colorful, the artwork is somewhat reminiscent of comic book artwork, and many of the players look like they could easily be villians. |

I have a number of t209s in my player set and they are very nice B&W photos of the players. Pictures are crisp and clean, unlike many strip sets that use really fuzzy B&W pictures. Plus, the backgrounds on the t209s are always intersting to look at. |

Oops, forgot to include the R337's--they do seem have pretty crude drawings. I don't have any, but at least they appear to have one positive--bright colors. |

Seeing a couple on ebay, I am reminded of another undesirable set--the American Caramel E122's. They are the ones that use the same photos as seen in the American Caramel E121's, but for some reason look as if they were filtered through coarse screening to achieve a dull and unappealing image. Even though they are probably twenty times more uncommon than the E121's, the only interest in this set most likely is from type collectors, and the cards usually sell for about the same amount of money, if not less. |

I cna remember buying a pack of 1991 Fleer - I was 10 at the time. To be honest, I kinda liked them then - but you're right - kinda ugly now! |

1991 is close enough..but I've seen stuff in the local card shop--UGH! Trying to make the picture look old by blurring the edges; endlessly copying '50s sets, more chrome and copper on the card than paper--IT'S AWFUL! |
