Not a fan of drawn images on cards that are this "modern", and this one is very amateurish. This sort of thing made more sense in an earlier era, when photographic reproductions weren't as cost-effective. If I appreciated such drawings, I'd collect comic books.

Right, but isn't that the intent of these cards, to channel the look of older cards? I always assumed it was.

Could be, but then it would have been wonderful if they had tried their hand at the gorgeousness that was the set that inspired them in the first place. That sort of artwork I could seriously have gotten behind! (Then again, some of those depictions are pretty sad, too. Being released 44 years prior to the '55s allowed them a bit more leeway for cringiness, IMHO.)

These were clearly created by whoever did the little comics on the backs of the Topps cards.

It seems clear they are influenced by T201, but yes the artist was weak.

Not M.P. & Co. weak, but those are "special". Heavy, heavy use of the quotation marks there!
