This is one of the ones that always comes to my mind. It looks like something is going horribly wrong in his digestive track.

Jackie Robinson’s Leaf RC is another one with a horrible facial expression. I could never pull the trigger on one bc I can’t stand looking at it.

Always thought he looked like a lost member of the Manning family on that card.

Is this really the best photo that Topps had of Steve Garvey?

what was Topps doing for their 1973 set? There's a lot of garbage photos in that set. I always wondered why I never bothered to pursue the set (or any card in it)....I'm starting to see why.

I sort of liked the overall streamlined design. Otherwise, Nope.

Plus the black border backs are hideous. The 73 Topps is known for action shots rather then the typical posed photo. I hate the 1961 Topps set too. Why the hell would you have players take head shot photo's without the teams ball cap. Worse Willie Mays card ever.
