Baseball Cards with Really Stupid Pictures

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.

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.

How about the t206 Burns with the glove on the wrong hand.

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.

I am partial to the 53 Topps Harry Simpson -- worst teeth in card art history. gives Austin Powers a run for his money...

This is one of my favorites. Looks like Oscar's playing with Mickey Mouse ears on under his hat, doesn't it?

my favorite 'fro' pic was on an early 70s basketball card (forget the player's name) who had half his fro shaved.

Check out his T3 card, they tried correcting the glove. Sorry I don't have the card, just saw it at the Nationals.

I tried but couldn't extract just the image, so I linked to the entire page.

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.
