Maybe this should have been a Halloween post or something....the Lentz just weirded me out a little bit hehe

creepy
 

Not pre-war, but creepy.

Bob Sheppard reminds me of the old guy in 'big trouble in little china' or that old Chevy Chase movie where he ends up stuck in some junk yard house with an insane old guy.

I always thought this one was creepy because it looks like there's a ghost standing behind the end of Mickey's bat.

I hope that
 

I hope that someone shows that N172 Old Judge of the guy who looks deceased...

Erich - that dude reminds of the preacher from Poltergiest!!! Wahhhhhhh!!!!:eek:

record album
 

One of the more striking record albums was an album autographed by John Lennon for his killer Mark Chapman. Chapman had Lennon sign the album in person on the street hours before the murder. The album was auctioned recently and came with a plethora of authenticating documentation, including that it was used as evidence in the murder trial and that it contained Lennon's and Chapman's finger prints.

David- do you know what the Lennon album sold for? I always wondered about that thing. Somebody took a photograph of him signing it for Chapman.

Barry, I think the last signed record (Double Fantasy) sold in 2003 for $525,000.

Sean....haha...HAHA...HAHAHAHA! That's a great pic....very creepy....

Mark Chapman was also reading the book "Catcher in the rye".

The one that sold for 525K- was that the one John signed for Chapman?

Heres Lennon actually signing the album for mdc
 

If its not sad enough he was murdered, Lennon was actually nice enough to signed his killer's lp before he got shot :(

Attachment 1855

also, any of the outdoor old judges I find very creepy. On some they look like they are in a cemetary

Barry, that is the one.

Won this 1920's Japanese menko on eBay yesterday. Not sure if it qualifies as creepy. Perhaps melodramatic would be more like it. Looks like the runner is being murdered.

First half of a twin-killing?

Creepy cards
 

Always thought this one was/is kinda creepy

shag
 

pardon the other scans but Shag as Count Dracula (yes, same pose as T206)

That photo of Lennon and Chapman together still makes me sick.

I hear ya, Barry. Although I was only 10 when it happened, I also recall seeing concert footage from years prior where Chapman was sitting in the front row. Too creepy.

Hilarious!

How about the Max Schmelling card with the swastika on it?

If we venture into the Non-Sports card world the entire "Horrors of War" set is about as creepy as it gets, even by today's standards.

On the subject of Mark David Chapman, anybody see the movie about him starring Jared Leto? I had to turn it off halfway through. Leto's performance might have been accurate but it was so damn uncomfortable to watch I couldn't actually sit through the whole thing.

Not so much creepy, but ethereal would be the word I would use to describe the 1972 Topps card of Billy Cowan.

Cowan:

E96 Brown

not a card but still pretty damn creepy
 

Creepy is far too light of a word to describe THAT! Where on Earth did you find it? You have to give us some more details -- I think I'm going to have nightmares from that one! :eek:

I found a scan of it online a long time ago. thought it was pretty fascinating. If poor Rube hadnt been prepping sand bags in freezing cold water he wouldnt of been in that situation.

Fascinating indeed! Very creepy.

While his items themselves are not creepy, any card or item depicting Marty Bergen (1896-1899) has to rank up there on the creepy scale given what he did at the end of his life. If you aren't familiar with the story it isn't for the faint of heart if you do decide to look it up.
