Default Oddball card poses

I know this has been done before, but I don't remember this particular one, so thought others might be able to refresh the topic.

I'd forgotten about that one Leon, but it's not the one I was thinking about. It's similar, but in color, and the player doesn't have a bat in his hands.

Default Always loved the dude laying down on the OJ

Always loved the dude laying down on the OJ...great pose. Many other great ones too. Shown before but here is Babe Ruth throwing a football, right handed and with a glove on. Ya' gotta love that.

Default Goofy Zees

I recently posted these on another thread, but it seems like these cards were just meant to be here.

The 1913 Leard captures the classic Tinkerbell cross handed bunting stance.

The 1914 of Arbogast has that pained, disappointed look of having just been called out on strikes.

Fisher is showboating for the camera, as all good catchers do.

Brown in his 1916 card has a very elaborate hideaway pitching windup, which unfortunately seems to come at the end of his stride.

Both Downs and High just got a piece of it.

The 1919 cards of Kenworthy, Conkwright and Seaton all are pussyfooting around in the batter's box.

Dumovich is awfully bashful around the lady folk.

Meet Oompa Loompas Griggs and Cox in their 1920 cards.

At the opposite end of the height spectrum, Knight must have been one elongated string bean of a player.

Baker was just a bit camera shy when asked to pose for his 1920 card.

With an obvious penchant for pitches thrown high and tight, it is no surprise Duchalsky never made it to the majors.

Was searching this site and came across this fun thread from the past. Thought I would bump it up so others can enjoy, and hopefully someone will also erase me from the unenviable position of the final poster of a thread.

There are some real gems in the E121 family too.

Good input...keep it up.

The earlier Zeenuts up to 1923 are riddled with cards that are just a bit off. Here is one that is more than just slightly askew, and which can be identified as the 'Leaning Tower of Cooper'.

Many years ago, after reading the thoroughly enjoyable Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubblegum Book, I slapped an "interesting cards" label on an 800-count box. Every time I came upon a card from any era that was cool or unusual, I added it to the box. That box filled up much quicker than I ever imagined and now I have several just like it. I particularly like the action shots, especially shortstops turning DP's, outfielders scaling walls, and sluggers in full follow-through, but there is always room for odd names (Muddy, Choo Choo, Oil Can, Fair Hooker, Happy Feller), crazy bios (55B Eddie Waitkus, Jim Morris, 64T Dave Bennett, 63T Dalkowski) and just plain goofiness (64T Sadecki, 52T Zernial, Herb Washington). Certainly not the most valuable part of my collection, but just as enjoyable as a vintage complete set.

While I can't claim any credit for this one, it would be criminal to not include him in this thread:

A few T206's. Spike Shannon's head could have been used for the 1938 Goudey set (R323). Anderson catching a butterfly. Chappelle constipated. Knabe being held up. The "Paskert Flop". Beals Becker.........just always made me chuckle.
