cards I hate...

[rman444]

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'm with Leon on the E90-1 Jackson. One of my least favorite cards in the hobby, and I never understood its allure. Pales in comparison with the Cracker Jack, if a color card of Shoeless is what you're looking for.

I also am not a fan of the Duke cabinets. The players have tiny heads and huge, broad, square shoulders.

Put me down for not a fan at all of the e90-1 Jackson. I don't think it's that ugly, but looks nothing like him to me.

Duke cabinets are gorgeous though!!!!!

C46's. They took great B &W photos and ruined them with faux wood paneling that looks like it was strip mined from The Brady Bunch's basement.

Dems fighting words!! (Sorry, can't find an appropriate smilie)

I agree about the Duke Cabinets to an extent.

Ironically, the one in least demand (the Nash) is the only one that doesn't have that awkward look to it, the Robinson looks absolutely ridiculous, with the Delahanty being not much better. The Davis still off a bit but is more presentable than the Robinson & Delahanty.

I don't get the allure of the 1912 Boston Garters either. Many collectors really love the images on those cards, but they're just not for me.

Price notwithstanding, I prefer both the 1913 and 1914 sets. The 1913 colors and design are fantastic. Additionally, the player selection is much stronger with cards of both Cobb and Jackson. I even prefer the looks of the 1914 black and white set over that of the 1912 set.

and am a sucker for other true Rookie ( or pre-rookie ) cards of the best players.

I figured out why the Robinson and Delehanty cabinets that Rhett posted look so odd. The artists made the width of each of their bodes extra wide, probably because they wanted to fit in the length of 'Baltimore' and 'Philadelphia' across their uniforms without reducing the size of print. Note the 'Boston' team name on the Nash card is the approximately the same size lettering as Robinson and Delehanty, and can fit easily on his uniform, thus the width of his chest is more in proportion and doesn't seem 'odd'.
