Most boring card ever?

[seanofjapan]

I might add the 1958 Topps Ted Williams. I remember being at a card show in the early 90s and a dealer had that card and a copy of the beautiful 1955 Ted Williams with the big smile on his face side by side. The 1955 was a total beater with creases everywhere but still had some eye appeal. The 1958 was in way better shape. The price was the same. I said I would take the 1955 Williams and the dealer immediately asked if I would take the 58 from him for 20% off instead. "No." I said. 30% off ? No. Half off, please take it! No.

I just couldn't bring myself to it, it was just too boring. In addition to the bland design of the 58 set, you have the glum look on Ted Williams face. Which is just such a stark contrast to the smiling Williams on his 54-56 cards. Its like he knew his picture was going on one of the "bad" sets of the 50s and just decided a smile wasn't worth it.
