Does any card make you...

smile, laugh, grin, go "Awwww", whatever? Could be an expression, a hair-do, a pose, a nickname, Bank's smile on every card? I always get a kick out of this Stengel, jawing away while being photographed.

I always thought this one was pretty funny- pink tshirt, high sign, and those baseballs.

Adam- besides the humor of Merkle pulling his boner, did you notice the date on the faux newspaper is 1928, when it should be 1908?

That photo sure doesn't look circa 1908, either.

You're right...it looks about 1950. Not the high point of baseball card artistry.

And Merkle failed to touch 2nd, yet all the activity in the image seems centered around 3rd base.

The 1960 Hi-Lites set as well as the 1961 Nu-Scoops are among Topps' worst sets, IMO.

Barry-
Those were issued by Topps? First I"ve heard, but makes sense.
Just checked the wax box I have and it says Nu Cards Baseball, Inc Box 217 Seaford NY
Wasn't Topps in Duryea, PA back then?

Nope, I don't think they were. My mistake.
