The 515-1 Strips. It's a tight race for the ugliest Ruth out there but this one just narrows out the W512.

Yes the 1943 MP & Co. R302-1 are completely hideous, but admitting I won't buy one they have a little Menko kitsch to them.

The general disdain for the 38' Big Heads I don't get. The cartoon versions are one of my favorites (and hard as hell to find in decent condition) and I like the regular version too. I think they are a great representation of the transition of cards from something for adults in cigarettes to the new marketing to kids. If I was a 8 year old kid in 1938 I would have thought these were amazing. I consider these one of the first sets designed fully for children vs. adult consumers. Something we need more of today.
