Cards that mesmerize
 

Every time.

This (not my card)

That Meyers gets more amazing everytime I see it; unfortunately they're never for sale ��

Just a small touch of nightmare fuel from the soulless eyes of a HOF'r. Cubs players really got robbed in this set compared to the amount of detail in many of the other cards.

That Meyers is such a nice card

I have never noticed it before, but when looking for a scan of a mesmerizing card to add to this thread, I came across this Diamond Stars card of Ray Hayworth. Ray is doing his best to keep us from noticing that umpire/player discussion in the background.

Ray Hayworth was such a nice man. The last living Tiger teammate of Ty Cobb, I believe. What's remarkable about Ray's relationship with Cobb is that it was a positive one! Cobb was always nice to him, which goes against what we've been taught about Ty, especially in how it pertained to rookies!

Since the day I got it, and my first card in my new collection....Now shown 2.1 million times. It still has that mesmerizing quality to me.

This one does it for me

The card image, the sig and the story behind this card are mesmerizing to me.

All glory to the Hypnotoad!

One of a kind

In seriousness these two always suck me in. Campy because it’s a great tribute, Gibson because I get transported to that moment just with a picture.

The Meyers D381 is probably my favorite all time card image! The Matty is my avatar, but love these as well:

The whole set is full of striking unique images. A few others I love as well:

I’m on the road right now, so can’t post a pic, but for me the card is the 1953 Topps Satchell Paige card. I could stare at that one all day…

I'll post one for you, and one for me.

First one that comes to mind that hasn’t been shown yet.

Look into those eyes.

Looks straight out the the Three Stooges

Love it

The '36 WWG DiMaggio always makes me think Humphrey Bogart.

My contribution:

I believe Franz Mesmer would feel a kinship with the hypnotic power of Sandy's eyes...

This 1924 Diaz Cigs card of "Oyster Joe" Martina:

Sandy again…and Gehringer with that great signature he had as well. Plus Joe Wood (this one I have up for auction in Clean Sweep this month).

With all the airbrushing happening on this card, it initially made me wonder if the touch-up guy at Topps took a bit of liberty with Miller's eyes, but on closer inspection, I don't think so.

I actually found a player who had even more piercing blue eyes than Miller. Sadly, he never had any cards, as he was a one-gamer. The few period photos of him were B&W, so it wasn't until visiting his widow and I saw color snapshots of him as an older man that I realized this.

Look into my eyes................

My new vote for ugliest card ever. 1943 M.P. & Co. look like pointillist masterpieces by comparison.

There is just something about this card...

Not my card, but the photo that inspired the T205 Mathewson is absolutely mesmerizing, and the card too!

:D

That is a great one!

Egan is the mesmerized, not the mesmerizer.

If you look too long this guy will suck you into the Twilight Zone.

That card should come with a cadaver-scented air freshener.

There's just something about this Clemente.

This one is just a little scary.

Like a stalker or something

Have always loved the look of this postcard...

Love this one also. Leon you always amaze me what you have and even more amazing is you can find what you want to post them
