Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Never liked this ‘58 Brooks Robinson. Easily my least favorite of my favorite player.

Always thought this image of Lefty Leifield from a W601 is a tad unflattering.

That Leifield image sort of reminds me the 1932 US Caramel Jimmie Foxx with the really dark shadows all over his face.

I believe it's Jimmy Collins.

I like almost all of the cards in the E93 set, but always was turned off by the Eddie Collins card, which is my least favorite Eddie Collins card, even more than the W575-2 slumpy man in a wrinkly suit card. In the E93 card he looks like some movie mask-wearing evildoer.

I don't ever remember anyone mentioning this, but does the E93 even picture Eddie?

In regards to the T207 bashing; well some people have no taste!

I always crack up at the 1958 Robinson. Easily one of the nicest men to ever put on a pair of cleats but he looks like a disgusted young punk in the picture. My least favorite sets though are the M101’s and their lookalikes (e.g. E121). Just look so plain relative to other prewar sets. I get that people like the fact that they’re actual photos but I prefer the the more colorful sets of the era.
