Default What's the Best & Worst looking T206?

Bored, bored, bored! How about this one, what, in your opinion, are the best and worst looking T206's (1 each please) and why if you want.
My votes:
Best - Walter Johnson portrait, it looks like Rembrandt painted it.
Worst - Spike Shannon, he doesn't even look human with the huge head and the thin, stripey arms.

Default I'm in....

Best Looking: Matty dark cap:



Worst Looking: Dick Egan -- I always think he looks half-human/half-horse:



Edited to add -- the Shannon has amazing background colors that overwhelm the bizarre proportionality of the player.

Egan's just an ugly card, with ugly drab colors and an ugly horsey player.

I've mentioned this before.....but before you kill the messenger (in this case "the artist"), please carefully note that Spike really did look like that.

Lovely Day...

I think you should post a picture of each for those of us who do not know every card.

Default Egan and a purty T206

Egan was also not an attractive player--when I have the chance I can post the only D381 I own, which happens to be Egan. I lucked into his D381 a few years back, but egad(!) what a face. I think the T206 makes him look relatively acceptable amongst polite society.

I have always been partial to the Leifield pitching pose--I am sucker for sherbert skies, and it has a great pitching pose to boot. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I will post this card too.
