Ugliest HOF Pre-War Card

[LincolnVT]

And I don't mean card condition! What do you consider to be the ugliest pre-war card out there for a hall of fame player? Plenty out there to choose from...let's see em.

Can I choose a set? Because, Mother of God, I think the 38 Goudey set is putrid. Some Iconic players in that set, only to be ruined by a terrible design in my opinion. I know it appeals to some but I just can't get over such a goofy card design

I've always thought this was a particularly ugly card.

Wow. This Ruth Card looks like he is in Prison. Vote for this one for ugly

I had one of those one time and couldn't wait to get rid of it despite it being Ruth. The fact that it has grown in value is the only thing I miss about it.

Should be HOFer, Joe Jackson.

Ineligible for the HOF due to Black Sox scandal and wearing lipstick on his E90-1 card. Say it ain't so Joe!

Ugly and ambidextrous.

I actually like/tolerate a lot of strip cards, but here some Hall of Fame strip card examples that are, in my opinion, spectacularly sucktastic...W515 of Cobb, W590 of Gehrig, W9316 of Sisler, and W515 of Cobb

Brian (only own the Sisler)

Has Babe Ruth & Jackie Gleason ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

and a red moustache variation...

Those Ruth cards are awful. It's going to be hard to beat those, although I'm sure there will plenty of competition. On a side note about 1938 Goudey cards, they kind of have a certain charm. It's a love em' or hate em' thing for most I guess.

[Throttlesteer]

Not mine, but it qualifies.

[The-Cardfather]

Here's another ugly one of the Babe. (1926 W512.)

And it looks nothing like him! Is it even him?? I can't force my brain to see that as him.

I know it happened much later than the card, but every time I see the Eddie (Jimmy) Collins card I think of Jackie Gleason on tv just about to make a turn.
