It looks like they hired a four-year-old to paint the "images" of the players.
Another vote for this one. I actually like the Big Head set. It's like they made it that way on purpose, and the Eclipse set is growing on me although I understand why many believe that it looks awful.

Edit: Added some of the ugliest Ruth cards, some mentioned in this thread. The Schutter is often mentioned as an ugy set also, and threw in the ML Die Cut as it's one of those generic player "sets."

Hmm, ugliest huh? Here are two issues that are pretty bad but maybe not the "ugliest" when you consider the strip cards and MP&Co cards that are out there:

E91
N284 (with exception of Von der Ahe)

Some of the players look like they are twins in both issues.

I know this is heresy in some circles, but..........1975 Topps (since the OP didn't specify prewar).

I always found those quite cool. My dad has a bunch of them so when we were little seeing those appeared to be "old" cards.

I can see how people would find the multi-color borders distracting though.

I hate 72 Topps. I don't mind 75 although some of the color combos are rather loud.

Too bad Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Paige, Josh Gibson...didn't have their run of cards like Mantle, Mays or even their predecessors like Cobb, Wagner etc.

A lot of the ones mentioned are definitely bad, but for me Ive always frowned at the T207. Just my opinion and I know some here love them.

My first two thoughts when I saw the title of this thread are well represented:

1) M&P

2) Big Heads

The M&Ps have only the faintest resemblance to the actual players, so I give them the win.
