What is your LEAST favorite card/pose?

[Rhotchkiss]

I know I asked for least favorite, and I gave mine already, but I really also hate these cards: e91 Wagner and Tinker. They are the same person/pose, and it looks like neither Honus Wagner nor Joe Tinker. Two of the biggest stars of the era and they can’t even give them different figures??!! Literally, all they did was change the name of the city on the jersey.

Actually, I believe the E91-A Tinker shows a good resemblance. And I have no problem with the Irv Young pose you posted, other than that it is treated as a Cy Young card and thus grossly overvalued. On the other hand, the E101/Mello Mint etc "Cy" Young showing Irv is butt-ugly, imo, although I would cut it some slack if it were at least acknowledged to be Irv.

I will be more than happy to take that ugly, orange Irv Young E105 off of the owner's hands. I love the orange...what can I say.

Here's my pick.

That's going to be tough to beat Anson, hard to figure on that selection for the card.

I think Roger Hornsby was cursed with a few cards with terrible design choices. This one needs no explanation. A beautiful card if the type had been placed somewhere else or the artwork had been modified to accommodate the type somewhere else.

Very quick photoshop. Ahhh, much better:

Here's a similar (post-war, for cripes sake) instance where, two years after he became the first black player in the American League, they can't even bother to get his skin color correct.

I think this is the winner. Although, to be fair to the card manufacturer, they probably got the skin tone correct on the outfielder seen in the background that is wielding a catcher's mitt.

Like Todd said, not a horrible depiction of Tinker's noggin. Here is the article I wrote about the E91 sets.

Below are scans of the E91A Tinker and a beater E254 card of his, but I still think you can see the facial resemblance. I threw in Waddell because it is Thanksgiving and even Rubes deserve a slice of turkey.
