Default Ugliest Vintage Cards

Posted By: warshawlaw

All we need now is Wagner spitting at a fan and dogging it to first base and he is ready for the modern game.

Worst looking cards ever: tie between Milk Duds (Turd brown print on pee yellow paper) and 1968 ARCO (monochromatic borders that tore when the game piece was opened, mug shots, no logos). Honorable mention: Any strip card not based on a photo (Bazooka Joe has better artwork). Special technical photography merit award: 1927 Exhibit Charlie (who was that blurred man) Gehringer. Best graphic design: 1981 Donruss (a high school graphics student got a "C" for this one). Best art direction: 1971 Joe Morgan (he's in there somewhere, trust me). Most authentic: 1956 Hank Aaron (a gorgeous card but when was Mays traded to Milwaukee?)
