Hands down the worst looking card ever
Posted By: <b>brian p</b><p>There have been several discussions in the past in which we offered opinions on the ugliest vintage cards that were ever produced. In my opinion nothing can top this issue, and this particular example is just mind blowing:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86841&item=5135880 330" target=_new><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86841&item=5135880 330</a" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86841&item=5135880 330</a</a>><br /><br />No wonder why this issue is so seldomly seen--the ones not instantly thrown away must now be stored in dimly lit areas to protect the collector from permanent visual impairment.<br /><br />Brian

Posted By: <b>brian p</b><p>Curses, that Veach card is very hypnotic...I think I now kind of like it too, though my eyes are strangely unable to focus any longer, and I have the curious desire to procure raw meat...<br /><br /><br />Brian

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>it should be noted that, while he did not appear in the set, Bela Lugosi was the master of the white zombies and kept his zombie slaves on a faraway island.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.horrortv.it/whitezombie15.jpg"> <img src="http://www.horrortv.it/whitezombie09.jpg"> <img src="http://www.horrortv.it/whitezombie14.jpg"><br />(scenes from the 1932 movie 'White Zombie')

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>the second is yukky--like many strip cards. But maybe moreso.

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>While I can not disagree that the artists style employed in this issue is underappreciated, I have to give the nod to MP&Co.'s lack of attempt to depict actual ballplayers, if the question was "which cards are least desirable".<br /><br />Also worthy of (dis)honorable mention is Schutter johnson and R337 Eclipse issues.
