Default Strangest Cards

Posted By: davidcycleback

Perhaps the most bizarre advertising campaign of all time is a meat company issuing a human body parts issue.




The below 1908 postcard issue has a strange design. When I first saw the below Wagner I assumed it was a misprint, but there are others with the same design, showing that it was intentional.





The below 1890 Colombus team cabinet card has a memorable design.





The below 1911 New York Highlanders (Yankees) postcard is an all time classic. Also known as Hal Chase in The Lost Weekend.





And speaking of rough nights, this is what Babe Ruth looked like Sunday morning.
