Most boring card ever?

Actually, I remember the crushing disappointment of getting a 1972 rack pack at the supermarket and coming across this beauty...

George that card is awful!! Never been a fan of the 72 topps cards, that one has to be the worst !! Perfect for this topic :-)

I always found it boring, or annoying, when I pulled a checklist out of a pack as a kid. My opinion of them hasn't changed much since then.

I agree. I could never get myself to buy the 1963 Fleer checklist to complete the set because who wants to pay big money for a stupid checklist!

This is the card that comes to mind immediately for me.

I always imagine the disappointed Cold War kids ripping open packs of 1956 cards hoping for Jackie Robinson or Ted Williams and instead pulling a flannel-suited league president.

I know what you mean Andy. But this one for me is not that bad, I think because it's Stengel who always looked like the definition of a "weathered old man" and that makes it interesting to me.

That 1972 card of the minor league trophies is painful to look at!

I have to agree. The minor league trophy card is a terrific call, and it meets the boring definition better than the '62 Stengel.
While kind of boring, the Stengel really comes to mind because it had so much potential to be the first classic Mets card, but really disappoints with its logo-less, drab design.

Now I always thought the award card subset was interesting.

I'd concur on the hatless head shot cards and emphasize the subset of those of players forced to look into the sun for the photo. Awful, squinty stuff.
