What's the Best & Worst looking T206?

[Blunder19]

I think my worst has to go to a SLer.. Greminger.. he reminds me of the uncle from the Munsters...

Whoever mentioned Mike Mowrey is onto something, he is a bizarre looking (nice way of saying really ugly) guy when you see him in photographs as well.

Best--I like Powers, Walter Johnson, and many of the other catcher's gear poses

Worst-I can't believe nobody has mentioned Bill "glove on the wrong hand" Burns. I literally HATE that card more every time I see it.

I think we can put Purtell in the same anatomic curiosity category as Shannon. If this picture is accurate, he was build like a chimpanzee.

I swear I have a cousin built just like that... I think his knuckles drag the ground when he walks! Nice scan!

To follow up with Jay's mention of this one, it would probably be right at the top of my list as well.

Like others before and after me, I'm a T206 portrait kind of guy (guess it all started when I discovered Playboy....). Here are three of my favorites.

Best - Pattee w/ Tim Jordan second (not my pattee...I don't have mine scanned)

Worst - have to agree with Shannon

How cool is that. I was heading to grab my scan of Harry Pattee and then I see it's already here? Bill grabbed it from PSA and put it in the thread.

Thanks Bill. This is my vote for BEST looking card as well.

I have to say the worst looking card is the Shannon, crawford batting is pretty disappointing too.

[tbob]

My 3 favorites. My "worst" is Shannon.

[Luke]

to buy a Spike Shannon card now. Is that weird?

That was Grandpa, not uncle.

may be the most amusing thread I've come across in my few months on this forum.

Best: agree with many of the already mentioned examples (Chase pink, Cobb bat off shoulder, Dougherty portrait, Jorban batting, Pattee horizontal). What seems to catch my eye are the multi-colored backgrounds on action shots or portraits with unusual solid background colors. One example not yet mentioned is McIntyre brookly & chicago -- nice array of colors / clouds (image not mine). Also noticed that many of the Brooklynites have great backgrounds, and that the red in the Boston jerseys really stands out.

Worst: Egan all the way. did a double-take when I first saw it -- wondered if someone at the printing company lost their job for letting that get printed.

Tough to argue with all the choices for best looking, although I'll add another couple to the list -- Burch, batting and Ames hands at chest.






Also tough to argue with the worst looking ones, although I'll cast my vote for Shannon.
