Least Favorite Pre-War Card You Own - Let's have some fun

[fkm_bky]

Keep in mind, it’s a card that you own or have recently owned.

This one has always bugged me, for several reasons. That glove looks absurd, his face looks creepy, and he was allegedly part of the Black Sox scandal.

However, I've had it for a while and it's starting to grow on me...

I like all my Pre-War cards. I am usually not a condition snob. It has a great picture of the player but that is about it. The card was removed from a scrap book and all but the paper thin front you see is still attached to that scrap book. It is a T210 Series 3 Coyle I plan to upgrade.

Is it just me or did the forum go from pics being a little to small to being WAY too big now? I have to shrink the file down to really small or they are HUGE when posted.

Everybody kept complaining about not being able to upload pictures so I think Leon expanded the size of picture you could upload. Same thing happens to me.

The main problem before was most people kept trying to upload way too big of files from their phones.

Agreed. The face and glove arm is pretty creepy. Is that a left handed glove on his right hand? It seems to be an ill-conceived version of the more natural looking image like that found on the T3 Burns below. The glove now appears to be a six-fingered glove on the T3! Maybe someone can post the source photo, if it's known.

Whoever the graphic artist was failed finger-printing...

The T206 Shannon reminds me so much of that old painting of Jesus in Mexico that the cleaning lady overcleaned, then decided to "restore" herself!

My least favorite pre-war card is probably my Kimball O'Neill. I should love it because it has everything going for it that I like:

1. 19th century
2. Great player
3. Fits my 19th century team lineup perfectly
4. Is a pretty decent grade

But I just don't like it and I can't bring myself to do so. It's coloring is drab, I'd almost rather it were sepia like OJ, and it's been scribbled on with pencil it looks like. Either way, it's my least favorite pre-war card.

It certainly looks as though Bill was too sleepy to grab the correct glove. Maybe that's why he showed so little enthusiasm on the mound. He never seemed to have the right equipment.

Yeah, that's my card on the Old Cardboard site.

Ok, this is a card I currently own. I love the Ruth Lections, but I hate my beat up and written on example. Open to trades/sale!!

Maybe it's your lucky day Ryan, but you have to hurry.

1936 Reemsta - pretty lame! Haha

The "Big Head" strip cards are turn-offs to me, and the only reason I own this one is because I'm working on a master set of Sam Rice's cards.

I don’t like any type of strip card set that doesn’t use some what of a real type photo. I don’t care for E91 set either.

Val, I'm with you on the "big head" strip cards. Like you, I needed this one for my White Sox type set:



Also, the W9316 strip cards ain't so hot either...
