Cool card, and no offense taken. I guess it's all a matter of taste. For some, it's the quirkiness of the image that creates its charm, similar to folk art.
Some like color, while others go for black n' white. Some prefer photo images, while others go for the cartoonish styles where some artistic liberties were taken a century ago. Diversity among our cards leads to widespread interest, and it's what makes the hobby go 'round.
Maybe it's coincidence, but it's funny how many Cobb cards are a little weird, or cause differences of opinion in the hobby. You either love 'em or hate 'em... Cobb's T3, T205, D304, and T227, just to name a few.
