Default W9316's are for the non-picky
As promised, here are scans of my set, and then cards that I have multiples. As can be seen, this issue comes with a lot of color and design variations (eat your heart out T206 freak lovers!).

I especially like the squiggly background lines variations on the Veach and Cadore...it makes these players seem incredibly psychotic. And the Griffith card always reminded me of Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange.

Although I concede that the W9316 set is at or near the top of the ugly list, I still can't resist them. I must have absolutely no taste.

It might have been Malcolm McDowell?

Default Malcolm Somethingorother
David, in an alternate world it would be Malcolm McClaren, but I guess in this world it will have to be Malcolm McDowell. Thanks for pointing out my otherworldliness.

You guys just insulted 70% of Dan Mckee's usernames.

I'm going with T213's. They're like T206's, but with mildew, bad ink, and no imagination.

Default E99 & E100 Bishop's Candy
Not a fan of the E99 & E100 Bishop's Candy sets.

The floating heads are just plain strange, and this card of Hap Hogan reminds me of Porky Pig.
