Worst Topps set for photos?

[lumberjack]

After 1957, which was the best designed of the Topps' sets, it just got worser.
The guys who did the book on gum cards back in the '70s said the '58 Bob Cerv looked like a gravy boat had landed on top of his head.

Topps always had problems, the cards were too busy in the mid fifties, the same head shot would be used year after year and they were always airbrushed like a senior high school photograph.

Let's face it, they were making these things for kids. Hurdy-gurdy worked and after '57, Topps got cute with the designs.

You would think the point of the card would be to show off the player and the ball park background. The '57 of Elmer Valo has him pulling a bat out of the rack and there is a TV camera next to the dugout. It was like being there.

And what's with no hats.
