Default Cards that you hadn't noticed being odd until recently
I've gotten so used to looking at vintage cards over the years that I sometimes overlook a funny or odd aspect about them. Here is a card I just noticed...Jim has a growth that oddly resembles a miniature sized base runner coming out of his pitching arm.

Show some more that have something off-kilter about them.

A lefty, his pitching hand also looks more like a right hand.

I saw right away what you are talking about . Stared at it for a few more minutes. I think the hand is just so twisted around that it looks like a right hand on a left arm. Then, admittedly, I tried doing the same thing with my left hand. After a couple minutes of failure I remembered due to a couple shoulder surgeries, my left arm doesn't go that direction anymore. But, trying it with my right arm/hand, it's possible...just awkward.

The weird thing to me about this picture is that it looks like the tip of his fingered have been cut down.

Just about every Eddie Collins caramel card has something weird going on with it.
