I'm sorry. I thought this was a post about Madonna and I just couldn't figure out how it got into a card forum.

I've always thought this picture of Brooks was kinda ridiculous. Not sure if this is necessarily popular among collectors.

Not my card.

Another one I've never been a big fan of. It's not a great picture of Bob to begin with not to mention the quality of the photo. Add the pink and it just makes him look, well not very intimidating which of course we know he was while on the mound. I know it's actually a great card to own, but I've always felt Bob deserved better for his first card.

I dabbled in collecting Hot Wheels briefly and learned the pink cars are the rarest and most valuable now as boys wouldn't buy them, or if they were gifted one, they would chuck them into oblivion. Perhaps the same effect is in play with the 59 Gibson. With this in mind, I really love (and need for my set) this card.

Hahaha, I've always thought this was the worst card ever. Such a nice guy with such a sour look on his face lol.

For those of you interested in a laugh, check out the old blog baseballcardbust.com. It's no longer active but has a bunch of hilarious 80's cards with funny commentary. The guys who did it were comedic geniuses. I wish they would revamp it.

Every time I see this card, I think, "Omaha, omaha," since I think he looks like Peyton Manning on this card.
