Most boring card ever?

[pokerplyr80]

I always found it boring, or annoying, when I pulled a checklist out of a pack as a kid. My opinion of them hasn't changed much since then.

I agree. I could never get myself to buy the 1963 Fleer checklist to complete the set because who wants to pay big money for a stupid checklist!

This is the card that comes to mind immediately for me.

I always imagine the disappointed Cold War kids ripping open packs of 1956 cards hoping for Jackie Robinson or Ted Williams and instead pulling a flannel-suited league president.

I know what you mean Andy. But this one for me is not that bad, I think because it's Stengel who always looked like the definition of a "weathered old man" and that makes it interesting to me.

That 1972 card of the minor league trophies is painful to look at!

I have to agree. The minor league trophy card is a terrific call, and it meets the boring definition better than the '62 Stengel.
While kind of boring, the Stengel really comes to mind because it had so much potential to be the first classic Mets card, but really disappoints with its logo-less, drab design.

I've always considered the 66 Keane the worst Topps card ever made.

I think that in 1966 Keane would be disappointing to find in your pack , much like most manager cards and checklists. Most of us , understandably , want ball players :roll eyes

You can keep the coaches, trophies and for heavens sake the umpires out of the sets!!

Topps really showed a lack of creativity, design or appreciation of what a great opportunity they had in the 60's. They just look lazy. Hatless portraits, repeated poses year after year, dull pictures , plain designs...ugly airbrushed pictures.
Sometimes I wonder why I collected them! I have that ugly Keane card in my binder but I don't think I have looked at it since I slid the card into the plastic sheet...

I like the cards in the 70's much better (and the 50's) as a rule. i may be biased since the 70's I was pulling cards out of the packs...and somehow despite the dumb trophies, 1972 is my favorite set of all.
Give me the psycho set all day! (damn high numbers!)
