How can everyone's favorite not be this one!



Lazy cover of the Indians cap and an airbrushed pinstripe jersey that looks like a barber's cape on him, lol. A classic.

In fairness, it was MOST airbrushing, although that hair makes this card so epic. Without the mouse ears, this card is lost in the mundane.

When I saw the title of the thread my first thought was “someone has to post the 1978 Greg Minton” for some reason that card has always creeped me out!

I'm not entirely sure this is airbrushed (I think it is), but it's one of my favorite odd cards.

Some really great cards in here.

Some claim there are variants of the 57 Mantle with different degrees of the ghost guy. But I have never been able to spot one that I thought was significantly different from the one I have

It's funny, when I went about creating a 'Cards That Never Were' for Reggie on the Orioles, I made sure to mirror the awfulness of the large-hat Topps airbrushing academy...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

You do realize that everything but the hair is airbrushed? Gamble had an Indians jersey on for the actual pic.

Sure, but I'd include his face in the non-airbrushed camp as well.

There are so many out there, but the one that always seems to make me cringe the most is Rich McKinney, 1973:

Just saw this one on eBay. Looks like a child's drawing on the refrigerator...

I think the footballs tend to have the most. Some of them are ridiculous.

Brockington was a Packer in 1971, when he debuted. In his first series 1972 card, they used an unaltered photo. In the third series, they edited the same exact photo, atrociously.
