Worst Topps card 1952-1979
Have seen some really cool threads on best looking cards or best action shots. But what is the worst?
Out of my collection, I'll go with this one. The cap is so badly doctored I thought it was done by the guy who gave it to me, the expression says "hurry and take the damn pic," and the nearly all-black bkgd not only camouflages the cap but ends just below the team logo so cleanly that it almost presents as a miscut.

Worst Card
Stubby Clapp hands down. What is with the reflection on his face? Those eagle eyed N54'ers will of course picked up on the fact this isn't from the timeframe mentioned....but a Topps Heritage card.

Mossi
I think if I was asking Mossi to sign a card I would ask him to put the signature all within one ear

As the saying goes, these photos are so bad they're almost good. Dick Green is not only blatantly booting a grounder/throw, but his cheeks are so inflamed that it appears he's in the middle of a breath holding contest. And good ole Willie Davis is getting plunked. As marvelous as they are to me personally, were these really the best shots Topps had of these guys???

  The reverse is every bit as bad as the front. Last edited by Gr8Beldini; 11-02-2015 at 08:26 AM.

  What makes the reverse so funny is the "220" under "weight" (especially considering the 6'2" height. Last edited by Gr8Beldini; 11-02-2015 at 08:31 AM.

I don't mind the look of the card but it's ridiculous - you'd think at least one of the three guys was actually Joe Rudi!

Both Brooksie and Mr. Cub are either in mid-sneeze or in mid-yawn form. Come on, Topps, you couldn't do better???!!

The 1973 Topps had some GREAT action shots, but..... when I see the photo cropping on many of them I can't help but visualize a temp hunkered over his drafting board at 11 PM on a Friday night with a half-emptied bottle of scotch and a roach sitting in the ashtray next to him. He probably got them both from the guy who designed the front layout for the 1972 set.
