But this card literally ruins the set for me. I hate it!
Let’s see your least favorite card/pose and why....
PS - my post is in no way intended to distract from Casey2296’s thread and the very cool project he is working on. It was that thread- and seeing Irv Young’s ugly mug atop Cy Young’s name- that was the catalyst for this thread, but I think what he has done is awesome, especially in all green

I agree with this one, whole heartedly. And I collect the E98s. I refuse to buy the young, so I'll never complete the set. Seeing one just sell for 6 figures is baffling. It's not rare like a T206 Doyle. it's not attractive. and it's the wrong human. There's nothing about this card that is "premium" other than the fact that the collecting world has all agreed to just blindly consider this Cy Young.
