My other pet peaves are the Cy Young cards as mentioned. I won't touch E98 due to its being Irv, and the E90-1 (Cleveland) whether Irv or not, looks nothing like Cy, or even a human. His E93 batting pose bugs me too.. Even on his relatively nice cards, Cy definitely could have used some more Matty style "vogueing" since he pretty much always looks like a schlub (T205, T206 glove showing, etc). Thank God American Caramel also made the portrait of Cy in Boston uniform... His T3 and D304 very solid too. |

E90-1 Jax for me too.
I'm all for a regal purple background (love the '33G Gehringer) but the fact he is wearing lipstick, has no nose and bears little resemblance to himself curbs my enthusiasm.

Maybe not the iconic...of the iconic...but I've never cared for the following cards:
e90-1 young cleveland...looks like a penguin with those lips! e95 matty e102 look Cobb amongst other issues...too cartoony and way too much background...cobb is little! T206 young throwing...or whatever he's doing and glove shows pose...both...Uuuuuuuggggllllyyyyyy! Last edited by ullmandds; 01-08-2015 at 08:54 PM. |

On the Cobb T3... the artist made the head slightly smaller to give the effect that ol' Ty is leaning back, waiting for the pitch, that's all. Sheesh!
I've never cared for the T206 Cy Young portrait. Reminds me of Bobby Hill. I'd photoshop Bobby onto the card, but I'm tired. Last edited by CW; 01-08-2015 at 10:09 PM. |
