There are quite a few Old Judge cards that are particularly appealing to me picture wise. The William Horner/E.H. Warner two-player card (234-3) is nice because it isn't a contrived two-player "action" pose like many of the others. The Buck Ewing and mascot (149-11) and Ed Williamson and mascot (502-7) are interesting in the same way the Art Whitney and dog (499-1) is because of the contrast of the subjects. The Kid Madden with bat and rock (288-7) has great composition. Perhaps my favorite, however, is the California League card of Cornelius Doyle because it is outside and fans can be seen in the background.

In my mind the worst poses are those where the subject's face cannot be seen.

There are a number of odd poses that would qualify as silly (many of the laying down poses look like the subject has passed out or is having a seizure and there are quite a few that could easily pass for Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks poses), but two that stand out in my mind are the Bill Sowders with the ball behind his head (431-5) and the Pete Hotaling holding up his pants (236-2) poses.
