This was done on another chat board and we had some fun with it. Here are my nominees. I don't include dumb 80's cards of guys with snakes and big mitts and whatever dumb thing Jay Johnstone is doing. These were suppossed to be legit photos.

That chin. That hair. Those teeth!

This is the best picture they could have come up with. Topps couldn't have airbrushed the herpes out of the picture?

Oof! The angle; the hair; the expression; the teeth; the nose. Is Vic being wedgied as this picture is taken?

Never really understood this one. I've never seen anyone make that face before.

65 Don Mossi, 58 Brooks Robinson (sorry), or 58 Wally Moon.
Just my opinion

Your right. 66 Mossi not 65 but Moons unibrow is actually completely connected although better manicured

I got to check out the Moon...

That Vic R card in the 66 set cracks me up everytime I look through my binder. You know the photographer asked him to take a hat off...how and why the hell would he allowed himself to be photographed with such BAD hat head? I would have told the photographer the best he was going to get was a backwards hat, he was a catcher after all. So shame on Vic for allowing it!

Don't pick on Clay Carroll...one of my favorites growing up...and owner of several ugly cards...haha.
