What is up with the Alien Skull ? Could the artist have been sending a message ? His cranium is about to hatch a Lil Tyrus.
I'd pretty much nominate almost any of the w515's. That Cobb is pretty bad, but I've always thought that the Grover was absolutely the most hideous card ever.

That Grover looks like Jay Leno with red hair.

There's always the most generic set ever made...The 1949 MP&Co. set that borrowed all the images from it's '43 set....Gotta love the white Larry Doby, and as added bonus we get to see what Bob Lemon would've looked like playing for Chicago...Oh yeah, and the corrected version with a giant blank spot across his jersey. It's not obvious or anything. Oddly enough, I love this set..

Dunno. That Cy Young looks like he just came out of rehab.

The pic of Grover is artist rendering Steroid Era version. If Grover would have been hitting the horse hormones, his head would have certainly looked like that... The Grover and Ty are absurd. Had to be a Wacky Pack for kids back in the day... Those suck.

Not Prewar, but it's just a shame that this card is a rookie. I consider it the ugliest card on my want list.
