Worst Airbrushed Baseball Card
A previous post that mentioned the airbrushing of the 1958 Topps Gino Cimoli baseball card got me to thinking, what is the worst airbrushed baseball card that you have encountered. I'll start with this one. The whole thing is basically airbrushed, from the cap that was added to the coloring of the entire uniform.

Looks like Topps airbrushed his teeth

I think there are many candidates for the wost, so I'll let others chime in there. I will say I think the BEST (and honestly the only airburshed card I can think of that I care for at all...) is the '72 Topps Nolan Ryan.
This is also interesting in that by the time Ryan played in the regular season with the Angels in '72, they were no longer using this cap - had moved onto the capital A version that they then used for much longer. There are a few unearthed pictures I've seen recently with Nolan wearing the authentic version of the cap that was airbrushed, so I'm guessing it must have been used in spring training in 1972...

Paying a lot for a 1971 Dick Williams high number just always seemed wrong to me because of the kindergarten art project job of airbrushing they did on his hat...
s-l1600-3.jpg I absolutely love the beautifully majestic shot on the 1973 Frank Robinson card, but they didn't even attempt to add the Angels logo to it, they just opted to simply erase the "Dodgers" from his jersey and let it ride... s-l1600-4.jpg

Not sure if this can even be considered an air brush. It looks like a full on painting! I wondered about this card and how they didn't have a single shot of this guy? Of course, this was a year before I started buying cards, so the first bad one's I saw were that previously mentioned Minton and the equally horrible Mike Paxton from the same set.

I think every 1977 Seattle Mariner card qualifies.
