Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>What are your favorite really stupid pictures on baseball cards? Here is a link to a 33 Goudey card showing Buddy Myer taking some practice swings out by second base. I'm sure there must be some even sillier ones out there.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1971891430&category=31722" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1971891430&category=31722</a>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>There are many Topps action photos that make you wonder which player in the picture is the one listed on the card. The 1971 Chris Short card with Pete Rose comes to mind, among other other.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>1975-6 SSPC George Brett Checklist where he is making a funny face (childlike mock mean face). I always liked this card, which may indicate that I'm dumb.

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>I tried but couldn't extract just the image, so I linked to the entire page.<BR><BR><a href="http://www.cycleback.com/vcmay17.htm" target=_new>http://www.cycleback.com/vcmay17.htm</a><BR><BR>The collagraph at the very bottom also qualifies as dumb, and I made it (for demonstration purposes only I assure you). If you take twenty or so steps back from your computer screen, look peripherally, preferably when a large animal or cabinet is half-obstructing your line of view, and, most importantly, realize that I don't take criticism well, you might say the flower is quite fetching, even worthy of hanging on a refrigerator. If, even then, you aren't convinced of it's merit, I will have to point out that it's a 'Premier' collagraph and the final edition looks like a Renoir.
