What's your least favorite...?

Not a fan of T207's - never owned one before and don't plan to. Not sure what the artists were thinking with the lack of variety and drab brown backgrounds.

Ditto for the E91 set - especially considering the art is generic and looks like none of the real players.

I agree about the E91 set - what a total waste!


The W512 with all the lip-stick - UGH!

...and then there's the M302-2 set...done by a child perhaps?

Yes, those are ugly.
And despite their value, the 1948 Leaf cards are terrible ugly.

While the sets being discussed are unappealing sets, I was asking for examples of terrible looking cards of players. Not just ugly sets. We can all agree that e91's suck as do most strip cards, but I'm looking for specific cards of our favorite players that are unappealing. With Examples shown. Any more examples out there guys?

The E91 “series A” is NOT a generic set. It depicts the players as accurately as some of the in action T206 cards. Unfortunately, they didn’t stop with that issue and then generically re-used images of older players for the “Series B” and “Series C” sets. That is how Honus Wagner (series C) looks like Joe Tinker with a new uniform. I actually really like the first series of the E91 set and feel it is pretty undervalued.

If post-war is included, I gotta nominate Ernie 'Mid-Sneeze' Banks...

I noticed last night that there is no shortage of down right ugly cards in the M116 Sporting Life set.




The defense rests!

Rhett is accurate in his assessment. I always like to trot out an old post whenever someone lumps all the E91 sets into the 'generic' cubbyhole. Yes, you may dislike the artwork, but the player's portraits are based upon photos of the player.

For a photo issue, I always thought this card makes Lou look goofy.
