cards I hate...

[Epps]

Aw man. Why so much hate on the Black Sox and the E90-1 Joe? These cards are great.

I think black sox collecting and Joe Jackson collecting are awesome. I just don't care for his e90-1.....I think I am almost the only one (or only one that will come out of the closet about it) that doesn't care for it. Chocolate vs vanilla. I don't think it's a "bad" card.....I don't care for the look of it, is all. Hey, I'm partially color blind, and have been (rightfully) accused of selective hearing, so what do I know?

Leon - I'm also partially colorblind and I also don't like the "noseless" Joe Jackson. Maybe it looks better to people who can see the full spectrum.

E254 Colgan Chips/ Red Borders/ Tin Tops

(Not fond of undersized round cards.)

F50 Tharp / Harrington / Yuengling / Sweetman / etc.

(These are not horrible, but the images are recyled in 6 + sets.)

E91

(Images are recycled and do not look like the players depicted)

D355 Niagara Baking / E98 Old Put / E94 overprints

(Hate the overprints that were done after the actual production process.)

Quan- good investment... Yes at $500.00 --------- Ugly? Yep!!

I love the fact that some don't find the allure of blacksox players. Stay away! Sometimes we make fun of that which we don't understand. Kinda like the difference between a t206 with a 460 rather than a 360 back. HU? Now a Marten's, Victory, and red Croft's I understand.

Wes- I'm with you. I owned a few overprints, and they just don't do it for me. Not worth the premium and too easily reproduced.

Agreed. And the E90-1 Jackson is so ugly that it is almost beautiful. I love the card and it is a true iconic image in our hobby.

The thing that makes me cringe/hate the E90-1 Jax so much is not how it looks but just how damn overpriced it is. One of the top 10 overrated cards in the hobby.

I am sure I am in the minority on this one.....T206 Cobb Red Background. The blank stare on his face makes him look like he is either stoned or hypnotized (or both). I'm also not a fan of the T205 Cobb with his head kind of floating there. I do like most other Cobb's.

I'll probably catch some heat for it (as there are many that love the set) but I have always disliked the 1912 Boston Garters.

Now, the 1913 color set is one of the most beautiful sets ever produced, but half naked men changing clothes just doesn't do it for me. Especially disturbing is the Hughie Jennings, he just has WAY to big of a smile on his face as he is standing there with his hands on his hips.

I will reiterate my disdain for the E90-1 Jax.....can't stand it.

BTW, I hear the real estate market in Chicago is cratering too
