Iconic PreWar cards I love to HATE

[packs]

I've always thought the Joe Jackson Cracker Jacks looked weird. The guy on the front of that card doesn't scare me one bit. He should look tougher.

Any and all T206's

Funny David...I totally agree with your #1...JJ e90-1 is attrocious!!!!!

I'm not a big fan of any of Ruth's caramel cards either. The one with the bird? That crappy picture of him with the baseball? I do love the montage one though.

Agree with 4 of the 5 mentioned but I think the US Caramel Ruth is a great card.

I would add Johnson hands at chest which looks nothing like him, CJ Jackson for same reason, E90-1 Mathewson for same reason, N28 Anson for same reason.

While "hate" is a strong word... a card I used to like a lot, that I now can only stare at in a quizzical way...is the T-3 Turkey Red Ty Cobb

Is it just me or is his head way too small proportionally to the rest of him?

[Econteachert205]

agree on the jackson.

M101-4/5 Ruth. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: clown with a badly broken leg.

I think his shirt has heavy starch, making it bow out, and therefore we have a tiny head Cobb. Never noticed it before....I still think it's a neat card though...

My all time favorite to dislike is E90-1 Jackson. To me it's just butt ugly. But I know many cards I think are beautiful, others think are even more butt ugly than I think the Jax is.
